Proposal: Increase incident light reflection to mitigate heat radiation from surfaces Contest: Urban Heat Island Effect 2015 Thank you for your contest entry. Thank you for your contest entry. We appreciate your willingness to share your ideas and also the time and effort you put into developing a proposal and submitting it to the contest. We have reviewed your proposal and found that it contained intriguing elements; however, have chosen not to advance it to the next round of competition. We encourage you to keep developing your idea. Transfer your proposal to a Workspace to re-open it, make edits, add collaborators, and even submit it into a future contest. You can do so by logging into your account, opening your proposal, selecting the Admin tab, and clicking “Move proposal.” We welcome you to stay involved in the Climate CoLab community: support and comment on proposals that have been named Finalists, and vote during the public voting period to help select the contest’s Popular Choice Winner. Climate CoLab will be opening more contests throughout the year and you are welcome to submit your proposal to those contests as well. Keep up the great work. We hope that by working together, we all can create solutions that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. Sincerely, Contest Fellows If there are additional comments from the Judges & Fellows, they will be included below.

Dear Murray:

Thank you again for submitting a proposal to the UHI contest. There are some really great ideas hidden in this proposal! While you do have some innovative proposals here, we have decided not to move this proposal to the finals.

Thank you again for submitting a proposal.

Sincerely,

Jen

Thank You dear Jen.. for your kind comments. I do appreciate the consistent and supporting notes. All the Best to you! Murray Dear 2015 Climate CoLab Judges, Thank you for your excellent suggestions and my critically needed corrections. I really appreciate the commentary about the reasonable changes needed which I continue to work-on to comply with, and will keep-on with that for as long as I can. The most valuable insight you provided me, is about the required fundamentals.. simplify and clarify to a central theme I previously failed to present.. And after nearly a complete re-write, I finally get that. What did emerged from verbiage may now be considered by comparison, as a better attempt toward a proposal on a topic overly focused-on by me for perhaps too long. I hope the reading of it now is a bit more compelling and a lot less cringe-worthy. Thanks to you again. Best regards, Murray
