High Albedo Means Low Lighting Costs for Parking Areas.
Concrete surfaces have a much higher albedo (measure of reflectance) than competitive paving materials. Specifications requiring a minimum surface albedo are becoming increasingly common. The inherently light color of concrete naturally reflects heat and light. Studies have shown that concrete's reflectivity can lower lighting costs by as much as 30% over other pavements.
