Radiative cooling (RC) has been an attractive electricity-free approach to reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Current RC strategies focus on roofs; however, limited attention has been paid to vertical walls. Here, we report a zigzag-based structural design with asymmetric emissivity to realize optimal RC walls.
On 23 December 1994, the United Nations General Assembly decided, in its resolution 49/214, that the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People shall be observed on 9 August every year. The date marks the first meeting, in 1982, of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations.
The International Day observance will take place online on Friday, 9 August 2024.
The present research focuses on the gap and need for developing global heat wave frameworks to effectively identify dangerous heat wave outdoor conditions over diverse climatic and geographic regions. This development will be helpful for climate scientists, health professionals, policymakers, and communities in developing mitigation strategies and raising awareness of heat risks.
