Revolutionary Heat-Reflecting Glass: The Future of Energy-Efficient Buildings

The video discusses the high power consumption of air conditioning systems in glass office buildings and introduces a new technology developed by Professor Ivan Parkins' team at the University of London. This technology involves a special coating for glass that reflects the sun's heat while remaining transparent. The coated glass can deflect 30 to 50% of unwanted solar heat, potentially reducing air conditioning costs. The product is currently being tested for commercial feasibility and could be available in four to five years.

What are the implications of using heat reflecting glass on the building's air conditioning system?

What is the expected timeline for the heat reflecting glass to be available on the market?
