FOCUS: Energy Efficiency, Mitigating Urban Heat Islands

OVERVIEW: ThermoShade is an outdoor cooling company that aims to make our public spaces more comfortable for people to work, learn, and play—and to make our cities more resilient to climate change.

ThermoShade is developing a passive cooling panel that can be retrofitted to outdoor spaces, creating a shady environment that feels up to 20°F cooler than a basic awning, without using any electricity or water.

ThermoShade panels can provide relief to anyone subjected to extended heat exposure, such as frontline workers, commuters waiting for buses, students playing on asphalt playgrounds, restaurant and warehouse workers, and sports participants and attendees.
