Journal of the Society of Materials Science, Japan, 2009 It is considered that the heat island phenomenon is generated by temperature rise due to heat release from urban structures which have a high heat absorptance and are warmed by solar radiation during the daytime. Applying solar heat high reflectance paint to the exterior surfaces of urban structures would suppress the increase in temperature, and make ...

Efficiency Enhancement of Si Solar Cells by Using Nanostructured Single and Double Layer Anti-Reflective Coatings [PDF]
Journal of Nanostructures, 2013 The effect of single and double-layer anti-reflective coatings on efficiency enhancement of silicon solar cells was investigated. The reflectance of different anti-reflection structures were calculated using the transfer matrix method and then to predict

Optimal Design Method for Surface Shape of Exterior Material to Improve Thermal Environment in Streets [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Retro-reflective materials have garnered attention as a countermeasure against heat island phenomena. However, the existing materials are inadequate for improving the thermal environment of outdoor spaces because these have been developed for traffic ...

The solar reflectance of a snow field [PDF]
Cold Regions Science and Technology, 1979 The radiative transfer equation was solved using a modified Schuster-Schwartzschild approximation to obtain an expression for the solar reflectance of a snow field. The parameters in the reflectance formula are the single scattering albedo and the fraction of energy scattered in the backward direction.
