It may absorb less heat from the sun but is it going to eliminate humidity in the south? If not, then it isn't going to work here.

a surface coated with this paint is cooled below the surrounding temperature without consuming power.
So being the most white is the coolest thing?
This isn't going to end well for Purdue. I see many protests.

What are the unintended consequences of this?
I bet that's pretty unintended.

How can this even be allowed in 2021?

Dubbed the Mighty Whitey, or Supreme Privilege.

And when all the roofs are painted white and that radiation gets reflected back into the sky, then what???
frick YOU, SUN!

Well no. Because it will just radiate inside the house.
What they are saying they gave a paint you would put on OUTSIDE and would reflect most of the solar energy and emit more thermal radiation than it absorbs, causing a cooling effect.
Obviously won’t do anything about humidity though.
Well, SURE it would. You've seen what a glass of ice water does to a table in the summer if you don't have a coaster under it. If the outside air is 85 degrees and at 100% humidity and the inside of your house is 5 degrees cooler, you'll condense all that sweet, sweet water on every surface of your house that warm humid air touches.
FREE RAIN!

Think on all of the shower water you’ll save!

In the deep south that paint will grow a film of algae and mildew quickly, and not be useful at all as a replacement for AC.

The whitest paint in the world has been created in a lab at Purdue University, a paint so white that it could eventually reduce or even eliminate the need for air conditioning, scientists say.
And pray tell what color would keep us warm in the winter?

How many car crashes will this cause if it reflects off of dozens of houses?

I'll take AC for $1000 Alex.

Yeah maybe in Canadian Summers.
Fishing for more research dollars is all they are doing.

How about they cure Cancer first than trying to take away my A/C !

Aren’t those bad for wear and tear on your roof?

Those pushing for no a/c already stink; hippies.
Too bad we can't put them on a space barge where they do their homo shite as it flies into the sun (or some other star).
