Beam-controlled Spectral-selective Architecture for a Radiative Cooler
This invention enhances radiative cooling of buildings by manipulating the divergent angle of thermal emission. By adjusting the direction at which heat is diverted away from buildings by this beam controlled design, the dependence of radiative cooling performance on the presence of surrounding architecture and environment can be minimized. US12352...
