US experts have developed a special type of paint that keeps buildings cool and even reflects infrared rays, which keeps buildings and homes cool despite the dark color.
This paint can be applied to everything from cars to buildings because it has two layers or layers, one of which forms the color of the paint and the other reflects the infrared rays that generate heat. It was prepared by Columbia University’s Yuan Yang and his colleagues. Part of it is commercial paint, and below it is a polymer similar to Teflon that reflects light.
We know that sunlight has seven colors of light on one side and infrared (lower red) and ultraviolet rays on the other side in which Infrared causes heat in them. Although white can be used to cool buildings and cars, the new invention can be used in any color.
Interestingly, if a completely black paint is applied to a place, it gets a little hotter, but thanks to this paint, the surface temperature can be reduced by about 16 degrees Celsius. Best of all, this paint has been tested on many levels and yielded good results. On the other hand, it was kept in a wool at 60 degrees Celsius for a whole month, so its usefulness remained.
Experts have expressed delight and surprise at the invention, as it can keep riders, buildings and homes cool in an environmentally friendly way. Thanks to this paint, the cost of air conditioning in a large building will be greatly reduced. Thus electricity and other expenses

I would use that color even though I have a well insulated house and air conditioning.
Wow , you seems big fan of such color
I have painted an inside wall in a bedroom but the outside is brick.
I hope this paint will add more comfort to your life style.
I would use such paint if winter raises the temperature in my house. And summer is reducing it.
wow , and I ,ll be the first one in my country
there was also a study that showed simply have green plants on the top of buildings reduced the cost of heating and cooling!
Yeah , plant is good source of reducing the heat of building
great piece today – thanks for sharing this!!!!
much appreciated your comments
