Thermal insulation property and energy saving of PSHFHP. (A) Schematic illustrating the radiative and conductive heat transfer of radiative coolers with high and low thermal conductivity. (B) Comparison of the thermal conductivity and solar reflectance values of PSHFHP with previously reported radiative cooling materials. (C), (D) Calculated net cooling power of PSHFHP during the nighttime and daytime. Heat transfer coefficient hc values of 0, 1, 3 and 6.9 W/(m2 K) are used in the calculations. (E) When used as a building envelope, the PSHFHP exhibits energy-saving potential benefiting from its high thermal resistance. (F) The modeled cooling energy consumption at various thermal conductivities combined with different thicknesses. (G) Comparison of the modeled cooling energy consumption for a couple of typical radiative cooling materials.
