California's Mercury News (3/18, Richards) reports that on the surface of the roof on Las Juntas Elementary School is "an 'engineered coating' designed by Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory scientists to better deflect solar heat and light back into the sky rather than into the building." The coating is intended to "save energy costs, keep teachers, students and staff members cooler, and thus reduce air pollution and greenhouse-gas emissions," said Bay Area Air Quality Management District spokesman Ralph Borrmann.
