‘Cooling glass’ blasts building heat into space

Read the full story from the University of Maryland.

Researchers aiming to combat rising global temperatures have developed a new ‘cooling glass’ that can turn down the heat indoors without electricity by drawing on the cold depths of space. The new technology, a microporous glass coating, can lower the temperature of the material beneath it by 3.5 degrees Celsius at noon, and has the potential to reduce a mid-rise apartment building’s yearly carbon emissions by 10 percent.
