Mumbai – Now there will be no need for expensive air conditioners to get relief from the scorching heat in India. Scientists of the country have invented a technology that can keep even the common man’s house cool – and that too without spending electricity. Scientists of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Bombay) have developed a radiative cooling paint, which reflects the sun’s heat directly into space.
What is this technology?
This special type of paint can be applied on the roof of any building. When this paint comes in sunlight, it sends the sun’s heat back into space instead of absorbing it. Because of this, the room under the roof can remain up to 5 ° C cooler than normal temperature.
Huge reduction in electricity consumption
According to scientists, the use of this paint not only keeps the house cool, but can also reduce electricity consumption by 25% to 40%. This technology can be very useful especially for those areas where it is very hot and people do not have the facility to run AC.
A boon for the environment too
This technology not only provides relief at the personal level, but it is also considered a revolutionary step in terms of environment. Appliances like AC and cooler consume huge amount of electricity and increase the emission of greenhouse gases. But this radiative cooling paint works without any energy source, which will also reduce carbon emissions.
When will the general public get the benefit?
At present, the testing process of this paint is going on, but with the cooperation of scientists and industrial partners, it is expected that it will be launched commercially in the coming few months.
