Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC), passive radiative cooling (PRC), or terrestrial radiative cooling is a solar radiation management strategy that has been proposed as a solution to global warming which involves the mass installation of sky-facing surfaces on Earth that reflect heat to outer space to reverse local and global temperature increases while requiring zero energy consumption or pollution. Because all materials in nature absorb more heat during the day than at night, PDRC surfaces are designed to maximize the efficiency of both solar reflectance (in 0.
