Joe Doucet's climate-responsive paint could be a “game changer’s” for those living in temperate zones.

His invention was inspired by his childhood interest in mood rings that change appearance according to the wearer’ temperature.

He says his invention could help reduce energy consumption by 15% to 30% on their homes.

A climate-responsive paint can change from white to black, Doucet says.

A house could turn blue in warmer months before turning a darker blue in the wintertime.

The changing political climate may also impact his product’s route to market.

“When situations change,” he said, “you need to change with them”.
