In summer, as well as in regions with a warm climate, offices workThey require energy, emitexcess heat is contributing to the climate crisis.
Scientists are developing paint for radiationcooling since the 1970s. Previously developed designs could not reflect enough sunlight to function as a viable commercial alternative to air conditioners.
In order to create a worthy alternativeconditioners, the team used calcium carbonate fillers instead of standard titanium dioxide particles. This helped minimize the amount of UV light absorbed by the paint.
To demonstrate how good thesethe modifications improved the coolability of the paint, and the researchers conducted tests in West Lafayette, Indiana. The paint sample remained 10 degrees below ambient temperature at night and at least 1.7 degrees below ambient temperature when the Sun was at its zenith.
