How It Works

How NusCoolWall™ is designed to work

A simple way to understand solar heat exposure at the building envelope, and where a reflective coating is designed to make a difference.

Coated surface

From solar radiation to surface heat management

Building surfaces exposed to direct sun absorb a portion of incoming solar radiation as heat. NusCoolWall™ is designed to reflect part of that incoming solar energy at the coated surface, which may help moderate surface heat build-up as part of a broader building comfort and cooling-load strategy.

The process, step by step

What happens at the coated surface

1

Solar radiation reaches the building envelope.

2

Conventional dark or heat-absorbing surfaces may retain more solar heat.

3

NusCoolWall™ is designed to reflect part of the incoming solar energy.

4

Reduced surface heat absorption may support lower heat build-up and improved thermal management.

5

Actual results depend on substrate, colour, building design, climate, orientation and application quality.

A note on results

NusCoolWall™ is designed to reflect a portion of solar heat at the coated surface. It does not eliminate the need for air-conditioning, and it does not guarantee a specific temperature reduction, energy saving or payback period. Actual outcomes depend on substrate, colour, building design, climate, orientation, application quality and site conditions, and should be discussed with a local applicator or partner as part of project assessment.
