Scalable daytime radiative cooling for buildings and the built environment

该项目旨在开发一种可扩展的日间辐射冷却技术，适用于建筑环境中的大规模部署，有助于缓解城市热岛效应，并减少未来建筑物的冷却能源需求。该项目的主要成果将包括开发能够在澳大利亚气候条件下的建筑环境中运行的辐射冷却器，并为其大规模部署提供明确的指导方针。这项技术是基于一种被动冷却策略，其运行不需要能源。该项目的成果也将对澳大利亚的建筑和建筑业产生有益的影响。

This project aims at the development of a scalable daytime radiative cooling technology suitable for large deployments in the built environment that will help mitigating the urban heat island effect, and reduce future cooling energy needs in buildings. The main outcomes of the project will consist of the development of radiative coolers that will be able to operate in the built environment under Australian climatic conditions, and of clear guidelines for their large deployment. The technology is based on a passive cooling strategy requiring no energy for its operations. The outcomes of the project will also have a beneficial impact on the Australian building and construction industry.
