Radiative cooling technology with artificial intelligence

Abstract

Summary: As sustainable thermal management becomes a global priority, the development of radiative cooling (RC) technology has recently emerged as a promising solution. Simultaneously, recent advent of artificial intelligence (AI) offers the potential to revolutionize current research in sustainable cooling strategies. This article discusses the advancement of radiative cooling technology through the integration of AI, tackling the challenging issues arising from the conventional approach and offering strategic solutions to address global issues. AI, capable of mimicking or exceeding human capabilities through various algorithms, enables the efficient optimization of RC structures. Moreover, integrating AI with advanced RC technologies, which have the potential to surpass traditional RC configurations and applications but are still in the early stages, can further accelerate progress in the field of RC. Hence, AI-driven RC technologies will contribute to addressing the increasingly prevalent environmental challenges, further being a leading solution for next-generation sustainable thermal managements as these technologies continue to mature.
