Comment on A film that can cool buildings without the use of refrigerants

Comments

Does light in other wavelengths pass through with little transmission losses? Then it might be an elegant way to cool green houses in the summer. Yes, they can simply be vented, but it makes sense to keep them closed in order to keep CO2 fertilization inside and bugs outside.

My favorite method for cooling (and heating) greenhouses is ground to air heat transfer (GAHT): http://www.ceresgs.com/climate-control/gaht/

Note: this is similar to, but not the same, as geothermal heating.

Yes! I would love to have a research greenhouse fitted with this tech. Thumbs up!
