Fluorescent daytime radiative cooling for urban heat mitigation

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to develop a fluorescent daytime radiative cooling technology suitable for the mitigation of urban overheating in the built environment and for the reduction of future cooling energy demands in buildings. The project expects to generate new knowledge in this area to enable the exploitation of fluorescent materials for urban heat mitigation and cooling of buildings. Expected project outcomes consist of the establishment of the new cooling technology for application on coloured surfaces, typically used in the urban built environment, and on white surfaces for boosting the cooling power of current daytime radiative coolers. This should lead to significant benefits for the Australian building and construction industry.
