Developement of a novel and cost-effective range of nanotech improved coatings to substantially improve NIR (Near Infrared Reflective) properties of the building envelope. (FP7-2010-NMP-ENV-ENERGY-ICT-EeB Project ID: 260132)
The Cool Coverings program focuses on the development of dark coatings for ceilings, facades, and tiles with high reflectivity in near-infrared (NIR) radiation. These building materials help to reduce the energy used to cool buildings by targeting mainly warm countries.
