City University of Hong Kong built a radiative-cooling ceramic tile reflecting 99.6% of sunlight; field tests found it about 5°C cooler than standard tiles
Researchers developed a new ceramic tile inspired by beetles. This tile reflects 99.6% of sunlight and releases absorbed heat effectively. Field tests showed a significant temperature drop compared to standard roofing materials. Using this tile can reduce building cooling electricity use by over twenty percent. Commercialization for US markets faces…
