Journal Article
Hu, M., Zhao, B., Suhendri, Cao, J., Wang, Q., Riffat, S., …Pei, G. (2022). Quantitative characterization of the effect of inclination angle on flat-plate radiative cooling performance in buildings. Journal of Building Engineering, 59, Article 105124. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jobe.2022.105124

The environment-friendly and energy-free nature of radiative sky cooling fosters its application in buildings where a radiative cooler is usually positioned at a tilted angle. However, though the cooling capacity of various radiative cooling material...

Solar thermal collectors are generally unproductivity at night without sunlight. Radiative cooling, on the other hand, is another renewable technology harvesting coldness from extraterrestrial space and can effectively work nocturnally. Therefore, th...
