“…where E carbon (kgCO 2 /m 2 ) is the space-conditioned carbon emissions; E ele (kWh/m 2 ) is the space-conditioned energy; and η is the average emission coefficient accounting for the power grid of the city, which is presented in Table 5 [40]. To further indicate the differences in carbon emissions for buildings with different roofs, annual space-conditioned carbon emissions are also given in Table 6.…”

This paper proposes a temperature-adaptive radiative cooling (TARC) coating with simple preparation, cost effectiveness, and large-scale application based on a thermochromic powder. To determine the energy efficiency of the proposed TARC coating, the heat transfer on the surface of the TARC coating was analyzed. Then, a typical two-story residential building with a roof area of 258.43 m2 was modeled using EnergyPlus. Finally, the energy-saving potential and carbon emission reduction resulting from the application of the proposed TARC roof in buildings under different climates in China were discussed. The results showed that the average solar reflectivity under visible light wavelengths (0.38–0.78 μm) decreases from 0.71 to 0.37 when the TARC coating changes from cooling mode to heating mode. Furthermore, energy consumption can be reduced by approximately 17.8–43.0 MJ/m2 and 2.0–32.6 MJ/m2 for buildings with TARC roofs compared to those with asphalt shingle roofs and passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) roofs, respectively. This also leads to reductions in carbon emissions of 9.4–38.0 kgCO2/m2 and 1.0–28.9 kgCO2/m2 for the buildings located in the selected cities. To enhance building energy efficiency, TARC roofs and PDRC roofs are more suitable for use on buildings located in zones with high heating demands and high cooling demands, respectively.

“…Outdoor experiments at ETH (Zurich, Switzerland) in August showed that the mean dew mass flux achieved 50 g/m 2 /hour (close to the theoretical limit of such systems) with a RH higher than 90% and a mean solar irradiation of over 200 W/m 2 . Additionally, the integration of solar interfacial evaporation with passive radiative cooling represents a viable strategic approach to realizing all-day freshwater collection [137][138][139]. Xu et al [140] designed a dual-function film combining daytime solar thermal desalination and nighttime radiative cooling dew collection by applying carbon nanotubes (solar absorption of ~95%) on a flexible PDMS substrate with high IR emissivity (~90% in 8-13 µm range).…”
