From The Trentonian: Isles and Clearly-Cool demonstrate radiant cooling pavilion in Trenton garden during heat wave
The technology was first developed in Princeton University’s CHAOS lab. Clearly-Cool, a Hopewell-based research and development lab, engineered the radiantly cooled pavilion in partnership with Princeton and is now working to bring the technology into everyday public spaces.
“Extreme heat is dangerous, and it hits the neighbors who spend the most time outdoors the hardest,” said Laura Fenster Rothschild, chief operating officer of Isles. “What excites us about this technology is that it protects people right where they are, in a garden or at a bus stop, without shutting them inside an air-conditioned box. We are proud to bring it to Trenton first.”
