Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling. [PDF]
Adv 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 ...

Daylighting performance of atriums in subtropical climate [PDF]
International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 2009 Design of an atrium aims to provide a good quality of daylighting. This paper deals with a parametric study of geometric effect on the daylighting performance of two typical types of atriums, enclosed and linear, in the subtropical climatic area. A case study of the daylighting of two existing atrium buildings is presented.
