OUR VISION
To improve the lives of people around the globe by mitigating the harmful effects of increasing temperature and water scarcity
How we’re doing it
Any surface reflects a certain percentage of the sun’s energy. The rest is absorbed or emitted to varying degrees depending on its properties.
Dewpoint’s novel paint coating both reflects and emits a very high percentage of the sun’s heat. This enables passive cooling of underlying material to sub-ambient temperatures and atmospheric water collection under a vast range of environmental conditions.
A large portion of the heat emitted passes through an ‘atmospheric window’, straight to space without being absorbed by the atmosphere - saving both your energy bill and the planet.
Why we’re doing it
June through August 2023 were the hottest three months ever recorded.
Cities experience temperatures up to 20 degrees warmer than rural areas due to the urban island heat effect.
At least half of the world’s population can expect to face water scarcity by as early as 2025.
“Our planet has just endured a season of simmering - the hottest summer on record. Climate breakdown has begun.”
— UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, 2023

A cool roof is designed to reflect more sunlight than a conventional roof, absorbing less solar energy. This lowers the temperature of the building just as wearing light-colored clothing keeps you cool on a sunny day.
This not a new concept - homeowners in the Mediterranean and Middle East have been painting their building exteriors white for millennia.
However, our cool roof paint cools the roof more than standard white paint, so that the roof is cooler than the air around it.
-
A cool roof reduces indoor and outdoor temperatures, saves your energy bills, and offsets warming caused by carbon emissions.
-
Besides being a top-tier cool paint that can be easily applied on any outdoor surface, Dewpoint’s paint also reliably generates water from the atmosphere . Over an average residential roof, you can expect enough water per day to cover your basic water needs.

Dewpoint’s paint is compatible with any existing rooftop rainwater collection system, no rain required.
