Acceptability of cool roofs: a qualitative study in Nouna, Burkina Faso
Providing communities with technical information regarding how the cool roof functions and can be maintained may support uptake via acceptability. Desirability of the roof may be achieved via a combination of highlighting the indoor cooling of the roof as reported by users, sharing of results with the community so that they have an insight into the effects of the roof, and feedback regarding the products useability and durability.
