Harvard worked with Fibertite to develop a "Cambridge Green" color for the roofs of the Five Cowperthwaite and Ten Akron Street buildings, which are visible from nearby high-rises. Cambridge green is less reflective than the white roof, but still qualifies as a cool roof. The materials of Fibertite are seamed together with hot air, avoiding the need for caulking or adhesives.
