Scientific research on Urban heat islands (UHI) and urban. overheating has set new challenges for societies regarding risk and vulnerabilities, energy demands and mitigation strategies to favor urban environmental quality conditions against urban pollution. This review manuscript addresses systematically 171 relevant studies to identify and characterize gaps in the field of knowledge, through a robust evidence-based analysis focused on identifying taxonomic recurrences, trends in the study of urban fields of impact, global leaderships, mitigation strategies, methodological divergences, remote sensing indexes, data sources, legal frame, among other significant aspects on the context of environmental degradation and energy.

Urban overheating has a serious impact on building energy consumption. Daytime radiative cooling materials are an interesting passive solution for refrigeration. However, their costs and complex manufacturing hinder their current application. In this study, a series of scalable and lowcost daytime radiative cooling (DTRC) materials were designed, fabricated, and tested in a moderate climate (Cfb-Köppen-Geiger classification) and compared to aluminum and Vikuiti.
