Engineered Mirror to Increase the Radiative Cooling Capacity of Windows
This technology introduces a novel mirror-based system designed to enhance the radiative cooling performance of windows. By reflecting thermal infrared (IR) radiation emitted by the window toward the sky while blocking ambient IR radiation from the ground, the system improves passive cooling efficiency. The mirror is coated with a spectrally selective...
