CaliToday (09/7/2025): Scientists have successfully developed a novel paint formula using artificial intelligence that can efficiently reflect solar radiation, significantly cooling buildings. This innovative paint has the potential to reduce cooling energy consumption by up to 30% in hot climates.
The groundbreaking development leverages the power of AI to analyze and optimize various material combinations, resulting in a coating with superior solar reflectance properties. By reflecting a greater percentage of sunlight away from buildings, the paint minimizes heat absorption, leading to substantial reductions in indoor temperatures.
This invention offers a promising solution for mitigating the increasing energy demands associated with cooling buildings, particularly in regions experiencing rising temperatures due to climate change. The widespread adoption of this AI-developed cooling paint could lead to significant energy savings, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and lower utility costs for building owners.
Researchers are currently focusing on scaling up production and ensuring the durability and affordability of the new coating for widespread commercial application.
