Spacecool is an advanced optical film developed in Japan that utilizes Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling (PDRC). It is a zero-energy material designed to cool surfaces below the ambient air temperature, even under direct sunlight. Climacore is the exclusive distributor and installer of this technology in Cyprus.

Traditional cooling requires energy (like an air conditioner compressor) to move heat. Spacecool relies entirely on thermodynamics and optical engineering to achieve cooling through two simultaneous actions:

• Maximum Solar Reflectance: The film's surface reflects roughly 95% of incoming solar radiation (sunlight), preventing the physical structure from absorbing heat in the first place.

• Deep Space Heat Emission: Spacecool actively emits any absorbed or internal heat as infrared radiation. It is engineered to emit this heat specifically at wavelengths between 8 and 13 µm.

The Earth's atmosphere naturally blocks most infrared heat from escaping. However, there is a specific "window" between 8 and 13 micrometers where the atmosphere is completely transparent. Spacecool channels heat perfectly through this wavelength, bypassing the atmosphere and sending the heat directly into the freezing vacuum of outer space (-270°C).

Isn't this just the same as painting my roof or equipment white? No. This is the most common misconception. Standard white paint only reflects visible light; it still absorbs ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared heat. Furthermore, paint cannot actively emit heat through the atmospheric window, meaning a painted surface can never drop below the ambient air temperature.

Cyprus experiences severe, prolonged summer heatwaves and maintains exceptionally high commercial electricity tariffs. Every degree of solar heat absorbed by your building or equipment forces your HVAC system to consume more electricity. By neutralizing solar heat gain and actively cooling the envelope, Spacecool directly lowers your monthly operational expenditure (OpEx).

While exact savings depend on the specific facility and baseline insulation, field data from high-heat environments demonstrates that shielding outdoor structures and HVAC units with Spacecool reduces total air conditioning electricity consumption by 20% to 30%.

The material is highly versatile and is deployed via heavy-duty adhesive films, magnetic sheets or fabric-like tarpaulin. Prime applications in Cyprus include:

• Commercial flat roofs and warehouses

• Outdoor HVAC compressor units

• Telecommunication cabinets and battery enclosures

• Electrical transformer boxes

• Cold chain logistics and shipping containers

• Parasols, tents and umbrellas.

Spacecool is a premium, highly durable optical material engineered in Japan to withstand severe weather. It boasts an operational lifespan of 10 to 15 years with minimal maintenance required.
