The advance shows practical pathways for designing paints that, if used on rooftops and other parts of a building, could significantly reduce cooling costs beyond what standard white ‘cool-roof’ paints can achieve. 

The researchers took an alternative approach by using adversarial training, in which the model produces physically realistic details by observing entire fields at a time, providing high-resolution climate data at a much faster rate. 

HVACR manufacturers insist the mildly flammable refrigerant is an attractive alternative for cooling equipment.
