Abstract

Cooling is pervasive in modern society and contributes significantly to global energy use. A hierarchical-morphology metafabric has been recently reported to show efficient passive daytime radiative cooling ability and may be also easily scaled up by industrial textile manufacturing technology. The above study represents an important advance in personal thermal management through the use of intelligent garments.
