Summary

Calculates the dynamic performance of a radiative cooling system for buildings consisting of a lightweight metallic radiator covered by a single polyethylene wind screen and used for cooling the ambient air below its design initial temperature. The cooler air is directed and eventually mixed with the indoor air of the building to provide primarily instantaneous thermal comfort during the night and secondly to cool the interior mass of the building by convection, thus creating cold energy storage for the following day. A system analysis was performed for a rehabilitated historical industrial building in Legnano, near Milan. The dynamic thermal performance of the system during the summer is calculated using an accurate mathematical model.
