A heat-rejecting film was developed that could be applied to a building’s windows to reflect up to 70 percent of the Sun’s incoming heat. The film remains highly transparent below 32 °C (89 °F). Above that temperature, the film acts as an “autonomous system” to reject heat. If every exterior-facing window in a building were covered in this film, air conditioning and energy costs could drop by 10 percent.
