A collaborative effort by ASU and the Salt River Project water and power provider is using a new roof coating to reduce heat in several ASU buildings. The heat mitigation coating comes from the ASU spinout venture EnKoat, founded by Aashay Arora and Matthew Arroyo when they were doctoral students in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools. A professor in the school, Narayanan Neithalath, recalls that Enkoat started as a way to prevent thermal cracking in types of concrete, but research revealed it could also do that for some of the most common building coating materials. Now, a new IntelliKoat system promises to be an innovative and especially effective method for decarbonizing built environments.
