Abstract: Existing research on reflective cool materials is manly focuses on the cooling demand, overlooking the necessity for annual energy optimization due to weight of wintertime penalties. To guide researchers in developing more reliable analyses under current and future weather conditions, this papers addresses the following challenges: adoption of innovative aerogel reflective paint, minimization of energy demand and emissions, reduction of discomfort hours and operative cost, impact of climate change.
