Abstract
The demand for cooling in buildings is persistently escalating and is estimated to reach a relevant share of overall building energy consumption in the coming years. This increase, accompanied by a corresponding rise in greenhouse gas emissions, is leading to an active investigation of novel passive cooling technologies, such as Daytime Radiative Coolers (DRCs). Regrettably, a universally accepted sizing methodology for DRCs is presently lacking, with only a limited number of simulation models having been developed thus far. This thesis work endeavors to formulate a comprehensive sizing procedure for DRCs, tailored to real-world conditions, with the ultimate aim of ensuring their effective operation during the cooling season.
DRCs, as radiating surfaces capable of dissipating heat to outer space even under direct solar exposure, offer valuable integration with conventional heat pump systems
