Abstract

Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel is the main compound in the concrete paste. In this work we enhance the solar reflection of this composite using metal bars that are compatible with current manufacturing techniques to achieve good radiative cooling properties. Two periodic structures have been studied and interestingly, it is found that lattice effects may be transcendent to attain radiative cooling properties. A further study will be performed with a fully developed concrete permittivity model.
