It is apparently not just the cooling cost, the lesser use of refrigeration and air-conditioning save the ozone layer, which is the need of the hour. These paints are also having water-proof qualities, thus preventing the growth of fungus on the external parts of the building and the roofs. The life of the building is enhanced by this as the roofs suffer damage over a period due to the heat and moisture effects. The use of the harmful asbestos is now banned in Australia and the old buildings with the presence of asbestos are being treated to protect against leaching.
