Passive cooling starts with the fabric of the building - not just blinds and open windows.

Air conditioning already accounts for about 15% of global electricity demand. And that’s set to triple by 2050.
We spend a lot of time talking about clean power. Much less talking about the fact that cooling itself is becoming a major climate and business problem.

Passive radiative cooling sends heat through an “atmospheric window” into space. Now it is moving onto roofs, supermarket cooling systems and power lines.

The paint that cools buildings by sending heat into space
Passive radiative cooling paint reflects sunlight and sends heat into space, helping to cool roofs, supermarkets and power lines without using electricity.

[1/8] Le rafraîchissement passif répond à une question désormais vitale. Comment garder des bâtiments habitables quand les canicules s’allongent et se répètent ? Il limite l’échauffement avec peu d’énergie, parfois aucune, et fait du logement un espace de santé publique. #geography #passivecooling
Qu’est-ce que le rafraîchissement passif ?
Il n’y a pas que la climatisation : d’autres techniques, à la consommation d’énergie réduite, voire nulle, peuvent également être mobilisées pour rafraîchir l’air intérieur.

Radiative cooling materials offer untapped climate potential.

The “cooling loop” traps us: rising temps → more A/C → more emissions → worse heat.
MEER’s passive cooling breaks this cycle—cutting heat without energy use, emissions, or reliance on fossil-powered A/C.
