Water may be key to countering summer heat in buildings

As the world's climate heats up, buildings in tomorrow's cities will need innovative solutions to keep cool. Channeling streams of water on a building's skin or spraying a water mist around a structure could be unique ways to solve this issue with minimal use of energy. A team of Princeton researchers spanning two engineering departments and architecture is exploring the cooling effect of water on architecture – from small-scale prototypes to full-size structures.
