The combination of an infrared phosphor fluorescing at wavelengths between 8 mum and 13 mum with a wavelength-selective cold mirror glazing transparent to the fluoresced radiation can create a device capable of providing passive radiative cooling in tropical heat and humidity in locations with an unobstructed view of sky. The concentration of thermal radiative energy into the narrow band radiated by the phosphor, and the reflection of infrared radiation outside that band, provides more net cooling through saturation humidity at 37° C. than does a black-body or conventional selective radiator.
