Radiation reflecting building

TLDR: In this paper, the authors proposed a structure for providing shelter at low cost by reflecting a high fraction of the optical and thermal radiation incident on the walls from the outside, or by reflecting an additional high fraction on the wall from inside.

Abstract: This invention comprises structures for providing shelter at low cost by reflecting a high fraction of the optical and thermal radiation incident on the walls from the outside, or by reflecting a high fraction of the thermal radiation incident on the walls from inside. The structures are composed of translucent container modules attached to a framework, said container modules holding a translucent liquid, foam or gel medium with a dispersion of microparticles which can reflect or absorb the spectrum of radiation impinging on it. These containers incorporate into themselves thermal insulators for minimizing thermal conduction and means for minimizing thermal convection.
