The study describes passive cooling system that aims to help impoverished communities, reduce cooling and heating costs, lower CO2 emissions.
Lowered the temperature inside a test system in an outdoor environment under direct sunlight by more than 12 degrees Celsius.
Lowered the temperature of the test box in a laboratory, meant to simulate the night, by more than 14 degrees Celsius.
Simultaneously captured enough solar power that can be used to heat water to about 60 degrees Celsius.
