Weekly Poll (3)

Scientists from Cambridge University unveiled a new plant-based coating that gets cooler when exposed to sunlight to keep buildings, cars and other structures cool without external power. Should the coatings industry invest in natural cooling coatings such as this?

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory recently confirmed that the U.S. Green Building Council is piloting a new credit for the installation of cool exterior walls in new homes, schools and commercial buildings for the purpose of mitigating urban heat islands. Do you think the pilot credit will inspire more facility owners to integrate cool walls?

Engineers from Purdue University recently created what they’re calling “the whitest paint yet.” How long until you think building and facility owners will be able to utilize the coating to cool down their buildings as intended?
