"Extreme heat is probably costing you money: In one recent survey, seven out of
10 Americans said their electricity bills had gone up as heat waves get longer
and more intense. But better design can help buildings stay cooler without
cranking up the AC.
In a new study, researchers tested one way to help—a zigzag-shaped wall that
can reflect heat from two directions. On a hot day, the walls can help a
building stay as much as 5.5 degrees Fahrenheit cooler."
