Dr. Tao meeting with the team from Open Development & Education. in Tanzania to plan the installation of #MEER Ultra-cool roofs. They also investigated a local reed for its potential in soundproofing against rain-induced noise on metal roofing.

The #MEER partnership with Open Development & Education. in #Tanzania has begun. The first installation of MEER Ultra-cool roofs has taken place on some of the school buildings identified. MEER will be part of scientific comparison trials looking at different heat #adaptation methods.

#UtafitiElimuTZ will engage in discussion on Climate, Environment & Education. Exploring the kind of research needed to address challenges around this topic over the next 5 yrs. Would you like to know what current research is telling us? Follow for more. bit.ly/3woAhKr
