As energy consumption increases globally in commercial, residential, and industrial buildings, it increases the rate of global warming emissions. The effect of climate change will worsen if actions are not taken to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. By 2050, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions will increase drastically as it is expected that over 2 billion people will be added to our population growth. Therefore, it is important to implement solutions to cool our buildings without utilizing additional energy consumptions. [1] This FYP project is one where aims to use achieve passive radiative cooling through metamaterials, a green solution approach which does not require additional energy consumptions.
