SkyCool Systems provides innovative radiative cooling technology that allows buildings and industrial systems to reject heat into space without electricity or water, significantly improving HVAC and refrigeration efficiency.
SkyCool Systems is a clean technology company that specializes in passive daytime radiative cooling solutions. The company’s core innovation is its proprietary radiative cooling film, which is laminated and integrated into roof-mounted panels. These panels harness a natural phenomenon that allows heat to be rejected to outer space through the atmosphere, working 24 hours a day without the need for electricity or water evaporation. By utilizing materials science and mechanical engineering, the panels provide a sub-ambient cooling effect that can be integrated with existing vapor-compression air conditioning and refrigeration systems to enhance their efficiency and cooling capacity.
The technology is designed to help commercial, industrial, and data center operators reduce energy consumption and operational costs while addressing global warming by removing heat directly from buildings and systems. By lowering the load on refrigeration compressors, SkyCool panels have demonstrated the ability to reduce energy usage by up to 20 percent and mitigate the need for supplemental cooling methods like water sprinklers. Founded in 2016 and based in Mountain View, California, the company has proven its solutions in real-world deployments across various commercial sites, including supermarket refrigeration upgrades. The technology is modular, scalable, and manufactured in the United States.
