radiative coolers, reflective coatings, and hybrid green infrastructure across 3,323 urban buildings. The results were striking, with a peak temperature reduction of 4.5°C, a 26% decrease in annual cooling degree hours, and a 16% reduction in cooling energy consumption. When combined with energy-efficient adaptations, the total cooling demand fell by 35%, highlighting the potential of these technologies in mitigating urban overheating
