According to a release from the UC system, the grants are part of a $185 million partnership between UC and the state. Each UC school will get a two-year grant to focus on projects that will help California communities vulnerable to climate disasters. UCLA plans to use the money to develop an exterior paint that helps buildings stay cooler, according to Dina Lozofsky, senior director of business development in UCLA's Tech Development Group, which manages the funding.
"If you can cover these with a paint that radiates the heat away, you will need less air conditioning," she said."It will be cooler where you don't have enough air conditioning. And so this this is good just in general for climate action, but also for some of our most vulnerable communities."Lozofsky added that the focus for all the UCs are projects where technology in the lab can quickly be commercialized and used in the real world.
