A team of researchers from UNSW have created a range of intelligent building materials to regulate temperature throughout the year.
“One of the major problems in the built environment is urban overheating, or regional climatic change,” the Anita Lawrence Professor of High-Performance Architecture says. “As our cities heat up, heat-related morbidity and mortality rise.”
New building materials that reflect rather than absorb solar energy can reduce peak temperatures in our cities by up to four degrees. New building
