  2. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

    The average daily summertime temperature of the black roof surface was 75 °C (167 °F), but once retrofitted with a white reflective surface, it measured 52 °C (126 °F). Without considering any tax benefits or other utility charges, annual energy expenditures were reduced by $7,200 or $0.07/square foot.(This figure is for energy charges as ...

  3. Daylighting (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylighting_(architecture)

    Often, clerestory windows also shine onto interior wall surfaces painted white or another light color. These walls are placed so as to reflect indirect light to interior areas where it is needed. This method has the advantage of reducing the directionality of light to make it softer and more diffuse, reducing shadows.

  4. Passive daytime radiative cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_daytime_radiative...

    When compared to the reflective surfaces approach of increasing surface albedo, such as through painting roofs white, or the space mirror proposals of "deploying giant reflective surfaces in space", Munday claimed that "the increased reflectivity likely falls short of what is needed and comes at a high financial cost."

  5. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

    Reflective bubble/foil insulations are primarily radiant barriers, and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space; also, dust accumulation on the reflective surface will reduce its reflective capability.

  6. Low emissivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_emissivity

    Low emissivity (low e or low thermal emissivity) refers to a surface condition that emits low levels of radiant thermal (heat) energy. All materials absorb, reflect, and emit radiant energy according to Planck's law but here, the primary concern is a special wavelength interval of radiant energy, namely thermal radiation of materials. In common ...

  7. Insulative paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulative_paint

    An example of this would be an exterior wall of a building to which an "insulative" or "insulating" paint has been applied. Solar induced heat (direct sunlight) is reflected from the surface as well as heat (winter months) that is migrating through the wall outward toward the colder outside air.

  8. Architectural light shelf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_light_shelf

    Curtain wall and light shelf, in the second-floor children's library of Bronx Library Center. A light shelf is a horizontal surface that reflects daylight deep into a building. Light shelves are placed above eye-level and have high-reflectance upper surfaces, which reflect daylight onto the ceiling and deeper into the space.

  9. Diffuser (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuser_(optics)

    In optics, a diffuser (also called a light diffuser or optical diffuser) is any material that diffuses or scatters light in some manner to transmit soft light.Diffused light can be easily obtained by reflecting light from a white surface, while more compact diffusers may use translucent material, including ground glass, teflon, opal glass, and greyed glass.
