Funded Activity Summary
Radiative Cooling Tuned to the Spectral and Directional Infra-red Properties of the Atmosphere. Growth in the demand for cooling in Australia is a main driver for new power stations while global warming adds to cooling and refrigeration needs. This project extends Australia's leading expertise in solar control using nanoparticles into the area of active and passive cooling, enabling cooling at night to temperatures well below ambient, with little or no power and low cost. 'Cool' will be stored simply for use the next day. Our systems also allow efficient and low cost water condensation from the atmosphere. They will be of major benefit to developing countries in warm climate zones. High value products will follow, from paints to low cost cooling technology with energy savings around 50% or more.Funded Activity Details
