A Ventilated Dual-Function Photonic–Phononic Metasurface for Simultaneous Passive Radiative Cooling and Low-Frequency Noise Mitigation in Building Envelopes: Conceptual Design and Computational Feasibility Analysis
Abstract: Acoustic metamaterials for sound insulation and photonic/radiative-cooling metamaterials for passive thermal management have each matured separately for building-envelope retrofit, but existing studies address ventilation, acoustic damping and radiative thermal control in isolation, and no reported unit-cell architecture co-designs all three within a single shared structure. This gap persists because materials that are acoustic absorptive are generally dense and structurally opaque, whereas materials that are highly solar-reflective are conventionally applied to …
