The Effects of Exterior Glazing on Human Thermal Comfort in Office Buildings
EnergiesAs a major component of the building envelope, the energy-saving design of exterior windows is key to energy savings in office buildings. The conventional design of exterior windows mainly focused on their impact on heating and cooling energy but ignored

Temperature-independent thermal radiation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Significance Conventional wisdom states that the hotter an object is, the brighter it glows. This is the case for thermal light at any wavelength and enables applications such as infrared imaging and noncontact thermometry. We demonstrate a coating that emits the same amount of thermal radiation irrespective of temperature, within a ...

Adiabatic Thermal Radiation Pumps for Thermal Photonics [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2019 We control the direction and magnitude of thermal radiation, between two bodies at equal temperature (in thermal equilibrium), by invoking the concept of adiabatic pumping. Specifically, within a resonant near-field electromagnetic heat transfer framework, we utilize an {\it instantaneous} scattering matrix approach to unveil the critical role of wave ...

Physics with nonperturbative quantum gravity: radiation from a quantum black hole [PDF]
, 1996 We study quantum gravitational effects on black hole radiation, using loop quantum gravity. Bekenstein and Mukhanov have recently considered the modifications caused by quantum gravity on Hawking's thermal black-hole radiation.

On the Emissivity and Absorptivity of Plastic Shading Nets under Natural Conditions
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2015 It is impossible to directly measure the thermal radiative properties of shading nets because of the net's perforated structure and the difficulty to distinguish the transmitted, reflected, and emitted radiation on the net surface. In addition, Kirchhoff'
