201212 Adaptive Radiative Heat Management: A Multispectral Chameleon for Energy and Health

Title:
Adaptive Radiative Heat Management: A Multispectral Chameleon for Energy and Health

Speaker:
徐伯均(Po-Chun Hsu), PhD, Duke University

Time:
12/12 (Sat.) 7 pm PST, 8 pm MST, 9 pm CST, 10 pm EST
12/13 (Sun.) 11 am Taiwan

Keywords:
materials science, photonics and heat transfer, radiative cooling, solar thermal, nanophotonics

Abstract:
The space heating and cooling energy consumption of buildings accounts for about 15% of total energy consumption and 10% of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. This energy consumption, while enormous, is not surprising because thermal comfort is one of the most fundamental needs for human beings. As global warming and climate change become more serious, it is critical to advance our thermal science and engineering to overcome traditional energy efficiency limits. In this talk, I will introduce recent work in thermal management for energy and health applications, focusing on multispectral photon engineering and heat transfer designs from nano to macroscale.
