From: Scalable anisotropic cooling aerogels by additive freeze-casting
a Thermal conductivity and solar weighted reflectance of the ACA panel at different regions, showing a highly consistent performance. b Solar irradiance (G) and internal temperature (T) changes in different samples in the outdoor tests. c Selective absorptivity/emissivity spectra of the ACA in the solar and LWIR wavelengths. d Year-round cooling energy consumption of a building model with and without an ACA envelope and the potential cooling energy savings by using ACA in 20 different cities. e Year-round energy savings in different climate regions in China.
