Cool paint
NTU scientists have developed a cool, heat-reflective paint that will be applied to all existing HDB estates by 2030
We’re big fans of beating the heat. Thankfully, so are the hotshot scientists on our campus. They’ve developed a cool, heat-reflective paint that will be applied to all existing HDB estates by 2030. This follows a successful pilot in Tampines, where the special coating reduced ambient temperatures by up to 2°C. Even better, homes in the coated blocks used less electricity, as air-conditioners didn’t have to work as hard to keep things cool.
