Scientists used machine learning to develop a transparent window coating
The coating blocks UV and infrared light and radiate heat away from the window
In hot and dry cities, the coating could reduce cooling energy consumption by 31 per cent, compared with conventional windows
With global temperatures around the world continuing to rise, the demand for air conditioning in buildings is growing.
But air conditioning does not come cheap, with estimates suggesting that running a 10KW air conditioner costs around 38p/hour in the UK.
Scientists from Kyung Hee University in Seoul believe they may have the solution to this issue, in the form of a transparent window coating.
