Microstructured Nanohybrid Films for Passive Daytime Cooling

该项目旨在开发一种不需要外部能量的白天辐射冷却表面，通过新型微结构纳米杂化薄膜涂层，通过大气窗口将热量永久倾倒到寒冷的外层空间。该项目希望通过对尖端建筑材料和设计的多学科利用，在建筑冷却材料领域产生新的基础知识。该项目的预期结果将使澳大利亚在先进的绿色建筑基础设施和高要求的节能技术方面处于竞争地位。这应该会带来好处，例如显著减少建筑能耗，从而减少温室气体排放。

This project aims to develop a daytime radiative cooling surface without external energy requirement via novel microstructured nanohybrid film coatings to perpetually dump heat into cold outer space through the atmospheric window. The project expects to generate new fundamental knowledge in the area of building cooling materials, via multidisciplinary utilisation of cutting-edge construction materials and design. The expected outcome of the project will place Australia in a competitive position in advanced green building infrastructure and highly demanded energy-saving technologies. This should provide benefits, such as significantly decreasing building energy consumption, and, thus reducing greenhouse gas emission.
