Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. It brings together leaders from governments, businesses, international organizations, academia and civil society to address global challenges through public-private cooperation.

The report states that passive radiative cooling materials could transform heat management from an ongoing operating cost into a materials decision made at the design stage. It also identifies standardized testing protocols and the integration of passive radiative cooling into building codes and rating systems as important steps towards wider adoption.

SPACECOOL is also featured in the report as a company advancing the commercialization of passive radiative cooling materials.

SPACECOOL INC. will continue to promote the deployment and wider adoption of passive radiative cooling materials, contributing to reduced cooling energy consumption and solutions to heat-related challenges.
