What About Nanoinsulation and Ceramic Bead Additivies to Coatings?
Coatings do not have R-value; gain energy savings from reflecting solar radiation
Numerous unsubstantiated claims in the marketplace
In 2001 ORNL demonstrated coating with “ceramic beads” equal to a unfilled paint in terms of energy savings
In 2004, FTC fines Kryton Coatings for their “Liquid Siding” Product

Full year of ORNL data validated DOE 2.2 model
Complexity of real wall applications (different orientations, shading and construction) makes generalization very difficult
DOE 2.2 whole building annual energy estimates for ranch house show that IR reflecting pigments save 4% to 13% of cooling energy
