Abstract
Melamine Formaldehyde (MF) photonic cooling bulk is disclosed for covering outer surfaces of a building. The MF photonic cooling bulk comprises a mass of hydraulically pressed MF microparticles that has been thermally annealed to form a fire and corrosion-resistant, cross-linked photonic cooling bulk configured to reflect incident solar irradiation and radiate heat from the building to the outer space.
