Using high-accuracy temperature reading equipment, the researchers have shown that the paint can keep surfaces 19℉ cooler than their surroundings at night and cool surfaces 8 ℉ below their surroundings under strong sunlight during noon hours, The researchers hold a firm     9     (believe) that coating buildings with this paint will one day cool them off enough     10    (reduce) the need for air conditioning.
