This white paint could reduce the need for air conditioning by keeping surfaces cooler than surroundings
Oct 23, 2020 (Nanowerk News) What if paint could cool off a building enough to not need air conditioning? Purdue University engineers have created white paint that can keep surfaces up to 18 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than their ambient surroundings almost like a refrigerator does, but without consuming energy....
