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. [ link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)] The UK - we get about 7 days of decent summer a year, so WTF would need aircon for? well you arent the center of the universe and around here it gets really hot and humid in the summer and lots of other places too....
