Comment What about insulation, heat retention, and servers (Score 1) 139
This approach will work great on some commercial buildings and some apartment buildings but it might not work for detached homes.
When dealing 1970s (and newer) wood-frame homes
1)There is usually a lot insulation in the attics of wood-frame homes so hot air in the attic doesn't heat the home much and cold air in attic doesn't cool the home.
2)Most Wood-frame homes have vents in the top of the attic and the bottom of the attic allowing hot air to flow out the top and cool air to flow in the lower vents.
For many concrete homes: The reduced heat absorption during the day will increase night-time heating costs.
For data centers: Most of the heat comes from servers running in the data center.
The paint is awesome, it will likely help with climate change but I don't think it will eliminate the need for AC.
