ViBA Rad: Visualization and basic analysis tools for radiative cooling
Radiative cooling (RC) is an emerging technology that can lower the temperature without external energy consumption via thermal radiation. To evaluate RC materials, there is a growing interest in considering not only the calculation of basic cooling flux but also external weather and regional charac...

| description | Radiative cooling (RC) is an emerging technology that can lower the temperature without external energy consumption via thermal radiation. To evaluate RC materials, there is a growing interest in considering not only the calculation of basic cooling flux but also external weather and regional characteristics. However, tools that can increase the convenience of dynamic analysis and visualization of radiative cooling have not yet been investigated. Here, we report ViBA Rad, a free and open software. This tool allows the user to perform (1) basic cooling flux calculation of RC, (2) time-domain outdoor simulation with external climate, and (3) representation of global cooling flux map. |
