Seminar 24 -- The Power of T4: Recent Research in Radiative Surfaces PDF

2024 ASHRAE Annual Conference

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

It’s a bright day for radiant science as new materials and technologies have been developed for day time discharge of thermal energy from inside buildings back into outer space via radiation. Solar collectors and now emitters for a non-compressor-based method for cooling. What’s not to like? But that’s not all! On the inside new sensing methods and technologies are changing our paradigms of radiant systems. This totally T4 program leaves engineers with beaming smiles while riding the latest wave in electromagnetic energy.
