Heat Absorption-Reducing Paints

Solving global warming takes more than just trees

UNStudio has joined forces with Monopol Colors and together, the two entities have developed an innovative paint that can aid urban environments. As climate change is becoming a growing concern and cities are seeing the tangible effects of it, many designers and architects are working tirelessly to develop products that can help with or slow down the ecological phenomenon.

UNStudio and Monopol Colors' contribution comes in the form of a white innovative paint that can "reduce the amount of heat buildings absorb and cool cities." This has implication for the urbanite's behavior. For example, this can impact the use of air conditioning systems for the better. Due to its reflecting properties, the innovative paint can also shield "buildings from excessive solar radiation."
