  • In buildings, roof paints can be employed as a passive radiative cooling solution to increase both solar reflectivity and emissivity of the surfaces, although this may increase the heating energy use during the heating season.

    “In buildings, roof paints can be employed as a passive radiative cooling solution to increase both solar reflectivity and emissivity of the surfaces, although this may increase the heating energy use during the heating season [92,228].”

  • Heat can be released in the broadband (4-30 mm) or a selective band (8-13 mm), the latter leading to a higher efficiency during an all-day cycle.

    “Heat can be released in the broadband (4-30 mm) or a selective band (8-13 mm), the latter leading to a higher efficiency during an all-day cycle [92,228].”

  • Sky radiative cooling's restorative capacity after heatwaves is rated low to moderate, because cooling capacity can be reduced by increased humidity and outdoor temperatures at night.

    “After heatwaves, the sky radiative cooling's restorative capacity was rated as low to moderate, as the cooling capacity could be reduced by increased humidity and outdoor temperatures also during night time [92,225,228].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
