Prediction of interior daylight under clear sky conditions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Most available techniques for predicting internal daylight illuminance do not take into account reflected sunlight, nor the fact that under clear sky conditions the direction of the illuminance is usually upwards, not downwards from the sky.

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...
