Reply to comment by dabloney in Clear window coating could cool buildings without using energy by chrisdh79

I feel like this is only a super relevant use for much hotter climates. Think how hot the lower states, or South America, or India get. With things like the heat waves ripping across Europe the past couple years, it could be really handy. I didn't read enough to see if it retains temperature on the other side (like retaining cooler air) though.

That’s absolutely true about those places but where I am we have weeks of 90F days and are forecast to have many days in to 100s in within the next 30-50 years. We are all going to need better cooling

And hotter climates don’t have to worry about the winter effect this commenter mentioned
