Innovative Cooling Technologies Reduce Energy Use in Buildings
Three innovative cooling technologies aim to reduce energy use and improve building comfort. Manhattan's Eleven Madison Avenue uses an ice battery system that freezes water at night to cool the building during peak hours. Stanford researchers developed rooftop panels that cool water below air temperature by radiating heat into space without electricity. Meanwhile, University of Pennsylvania scientists created cement tiles inspired by elephant skin that retain water and cool surfaces through slow evaporation, offering a passive cooling method.
