Skycool reflective coating
Skycool reflective coating

Between December 2000 and April 2001, Skycool and The Department of School Education conducted a trial at Berkeley Vale Public School to test the effectiveness of Skycool reflective coating in cooling a demountable classroom.  

Demountable classrooms provide a solid test for Skycool reflective coating. For the following reasons, they are very difficult to keep cool:                    

  • Open windows and ceiling fans permit a high rate of external air exchange bringing in the hotter outside air which SkyCool reflective coating has to constantly re-cool. 
  • Uunlike supermarkets or warehouses, much more of the solar energy enters the occupied space through the walls than the roof. 
  • Sub-roof insulation tends to trap in any heat entering the structure through windows and walls (as well as internally generated heat), keeping it away from SkyCool reflective coating's ability to radiate it into space.  
Despite these factors, Skycool reflective coating performed very well in the trial. On the hottest day in December the ambient temperature reached 38°C by 12 pm when the SkyCool coated room had barely reached 30°C. The uncoated class rooms peaked at 41°C.
