Applications of the M-PCM radiative cooling ultrathin film and modeled full-year energy savings

Caption

Fig. 3. Applications of the M-PCM radiative cooling ultrathin film and modeled full-year energy savings. (a) The infrared image of the M-PCM film with a size of 120 cm × 20 cm. (b) Infrared image of the vehicle models with and without the M-PCM film as the external coating. (c) Infrared image of the building models using the M-PCM film as the external coating (left) and Ag tape as the external coating (right). (d) Corresponding indoor temperature and the air temperature of the building models. (e) Schematic of the M-PCM film applied to the building roof and external siding, and the basic principles of sunlight and infrared light. (f) Predicted annual global CO2 emission reductions for the modeled buildings in ten typical cities representing different dividing regions of the world. (g) Energy consumption of the residential buildings in the aforementioned representative cities. (h) Map of global energy-saving potential of the M-PCM film compared with commercial white paint.
