Theory and Mechanism of Nocturnal Cooling
Abstract Nocturnal cooling is governed by the fundamental physics of radiative cooling, heat transfer mechanism and steady-state energy balance equations. It is also important to understand the basics of atmospheric physics in applying the cooling principles of radiative cooling for building applications. In the perspective of materials, various studies have been proposed and investigated in order to develop nocturnal cooling radiator. Amongst the materials are paints, polymer-based films, natural materials and modified materials. Although studies have shown that in general, most of these materials have high emissivity property that can deliver a significant radiation effect within the atmospheric window; some of them are not. Further studies should be established in the development of materials that can improve the performance of nocturnal cooling by considering their influence on the performance of the radiator.
