Chinese cooling paint cuts wall temperatures by 25 degrees in summer test

Original: Chinese paint cuts wall temperature by 25 degrees Celsius in summer test: report

A paint developed in China reportedly lowered wall temperatures by 25 degrees Celsius during a summer test, according to a report. The coating appears to work by reflecting sunlight and radiating heat away from buildings, an approach researchers have pursued as a way to cut air-conditioning demand in hot weather. The result has drawn attention from readers discussing its potential for reducing energy use in cities.

Why now: Interest in passive cooling technologies is growing as heatwaves drive up energy demand worldwide.
