Has anyone here ever owned a white building?
They’re very hard to keep clean, especially in urban environments, which soak up most of the power used for cooling and where this product would be most beneficial.
How easy is this stuff to clean? Is it easily damaged by pressure washing? What kind of cleaners are needed for this to function reliably? Are those cleaners safe for the environment?
My white building is currently covered by spiders and crud. Luckily it'll soon be cleaned spotless by the first blizzard of the season, which would also polish off this paint.
However this is really just some science YouTubers replicating an experiment, far from a commercial product. It's just for interest. I like Tech Ingredients, they try to do fairly rigorous work on the border of pure and applied science.
It's like thst new type of batteries that is revolutionary, but never turns into a product
