White or light-colored surfaces have higher albedo, meaning they reflect a significant portion of the sunlight and absorb less heat. This reduces the need for air conditioning, as the building remains cooler. Consequently, the lower energy consumption for cooling leads to reduced #greenhousegas emissions, contributing to a smaller #carbonfootprint.
