FUTURE CLIMATE
Coloured supercool materials
Lowering surface temperatures through fluorescent-coloured daytime radiative cooling materials
Research project
The ARC Discovery Project DP220100318 , " Fluorescent Daytime Radiative Cooling for Urban Heat Mitigation ”, has pioneered a technology designed to combat urban overheating in the built environment and decrease future cooling energy demands in buildings .
> Creation of coloured materials that maintain lower surface temperatures than their white counterparts .
> Technology can modulate performance , catering to specific environmental conditions and architectural requirements .
The innovative technology enables the application of new cooling techniques on coloured surfaces , creating a paradigm shift from the traditional white coatings used for heat mitigation . The coloured materials created through the project maintain lower surface temperatures than their white counterparts and offer a significant advancement in material science and urban planning .
Furthermore , the technology can modulate performance , catering to specific environmental conditions and architectural requirements . This adaptability enhances the functionality of urban surfaces and opens up new avenues for aesthetic design in building exteriors , providing the dual benefit of efficiency and visual appeal .
