Radiative cooling material "SPACECOOL Magnet Sheet"

SPACECOOL Inc. is pleased to announce that it won the "Forbes Impact Challenge of the Year 2026," a pitch event provided by Forbes JAPAN, held during the "IMPACT STARTUP SUMMIT 2026" on October 7, 2026 (Wednesday). The "Forbes Impact Challenge of the Year" is a pitch event where impact startups that challenge the dual goals of solving social issues and achieving business growth present their challenges and the potential of their businesses. This year, six companies nominated from among 250 regular members of ISA passionately presented the challenges they have faced in their respective businesses over the past year and their future potential. Our company conveyed that SPACECOOL is already making a global impact in solving various heat-related challenges and expressed our aspiration to tackle the cooling of cities and ultimately the entire planet in the future. After a final evaluation through audience voting, three companies were selected as winners. With this award, our company will further commit to addressing global heat-related challenges.

SPACECOOL Co., Ltd. announces that Baiholon Co., Ltd., which engages in contract manufacturing of health foods, has introduced the "SPACECOOL Roof Shade" on approximately 1,400 square meters of its factory roof and confirmed a maximum temperature reduction effect of 14.5℃ in the attic space. This introduction aims to improve the working environment within the factory during the summer and promote energy conservation, thereby creating a comfortable working environment for employees and contributing to the maintenance of a stable production system. - Background of the Introduction At Baiholon, there had been ongoing issues with heat from the roof during the summer, as well as radiant heat generated by manufacturing machinery, leading to discomfort in the manufacturing area even with air conditioning in operation. In this context, SPACECOOL was chosen for its ability to improve the working environment and promote energy conservation without the need for extensive equipment upgrades. - Effects After the Introduction of the SPACECOOL Roof Shade A comparative measurement of the attic space temperature before the installation of the SPACECOOL Roof Shade (July 10, 2026) and after its installation (August 19, 2026) showed a maximum temperature reduction of 14.5℃ during the core daytime hours (10:00 AM to 5:00 PM) after installation.

SPACECOOL Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the introduction of our developed radiative cooling material "SPACECOOL" into fruit and vegetable sales carts in India. Local vendors have reported that it is particularly helpful in maintaining the freshness of leafy vegetables, which are prone to spoilage when exposed to heat. Produce that previously had to be discarded after about two days can now remain in a saleable condition for up to four days under similar conditions. By extending the saleable period, not only can waste be reduced, but the frequency of purchases from wholesale markets can also be minimized, leading to savings in fuel costs and travel time. This introduction is part of the SPACES program, funded by the Shell Foundation and the UK government's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). Trane Technologies is collaborating on the cooling technology aspect, and Intellecap is participating as the implementation partner. The program aims to address the escalating heat stress in low-income communities in India. Moving forward, our company will continue to contribute to measures against escalating heat stress and promote the introduction of radiative cooling technology worldwide to support sustainable and energy-efficient cooling.

SPACECOOL Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that, in collaboration with Shinagawa Ward, we have commenced a demonstration test for heat countermeasures utilizing our radiative cooling material "SPACECOOL," which achieves zero-energy cooling by dissipating heat into space, starting from August 28. This project is being conducted using the "Shinagawa City Lab," an open innovation framework that connects businesses with Shinagawa Ward to address social issues. In the demonstration experiment, we aim to verify the effectiveness of improving user comfort and reducing the risk of heatstroke through trial installations at Oi Nursery School and the use of tents at local events, with the goal of acquiring new insights for building a heat-resilient city. - About the heat countermeasure demonstration experiment In this demonstration experiment, we will conduct a trial installation of SPACECOOL on the rooftop of Oi Nursery School to verify the surface temperature reduction effects and the impact on the facility environment. Additionally, we will also examine the energy-saving effects of installations around air conditioning equipment. Through this demonstration experiment, we will verify the effectiveness and potential applications of SPACECOOL, accumulating knowledge aimed at creating an urban environment where residents can live safely and comfortably.
