New cooling tech aims to cut AC electricity demand amid rising heat

Engineers are developing new cooling technologies to combat rising electricity demand driven by hotter summers and increased air conditioning use. These innovations aim to reduce energy consumption by keeping buildings cooler through methods like blocking solar radiation, using reflective roof coatings, and employing more efficient AC systems with built-in energy storage. The goal is to alleviate strain on power grids during peak demand hours, especially as cooling needs grow in historically cooler regions. AI
