White Paint
Date: 2020-10-30 11:56 am (UTC)The obvious thing to do with it is to paint the roofs of buildings in hot countries and improve both the comfort and energy efficiency of the buildings. I suspect that in hot energy intensive countries like Australia or the south-west of the USA you'd see a several percent reduction in overall energy demand and a flattening of the peak demand.
But! What else can this white paint do for us?
That might be a fun thing to think about.
