Radiative cooling (RC) has been an attractive electricity-free approach to reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Current RC strategies focus on roofs; however, limited attention has been paid to vertical walls. Here, we report a zigzag-based structural design with asymmetric emissivity to realize optimal RC walls.
The present research focuses on the gap and need for developing global heat wave frameworks to effectively identify dangerous heat wave outdoor conditions over diverse climatic and geographic regions. This development will be helpful for climate scientists, health professionals, policymakers, and communities in developing mitigation strategies and raising awareness of heat risks.
