Passive radiative cooling · powered by advanced material science

Cool commercial roofs without electricity.

SkyRad brings passive deep-space cooling to European commercial roofs: high solar reflection, thermal emission through the 8–13 μm atmospheric window, and lower cooling load for large-scale buildings.

Why it matters

Traditional cooling moves heat. SkyRad reduces heat gain at the roof.

Large roofs absorb solar radiation, heat the building envelope and raise HVAC demand during the exact hours when energy is most expensive.

Lower heat absorption

High-reflectance surfaces reduce solar energy absorbed by the roof assembly.

Passive heat rejection

Mid-infrared thermal emission allows heat to leave the surface through the atmospheric window.

Portfolio-ready retrofit

The technology can be positioned as a roof-level energy efficiency layer for commercial assets.

Industry applications

Built for large exposed surfaces.

SkyRad prioritizes asset categories where roof area, cooling demand and ESG pressure intersect.

Applications collage

Architecture

Retail parks, offices and public buildings.

Logistics

Warehouses, depots and cold-chain facilities with large roofs and high summer thermal load.

Industrial

Factories and production halls where rooftop heat affects comfort, reliability or process conditions.

Public sector

Schools, municipal buildings and health assets with energy-efficiency targets.
