Radiative cooling (RC) has been an attractive electricity-free approach to reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Current RC strategies focus on roofs; however, limited attention has been paid to vertical walls. Here, we report a zigzag-based structural design with asymmetric emissivity to realize optimal RC walls.
