 A innovative solution to keep buildings cooler without using energy has been proposed by researchers. A zigzag design on walls can maximize heat radiation into space while minimizing absorption from the ground, potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to Qilong Cheng at Columbia University, this approach could reduce energy consumption for cooling and help combat global warming.
