I wonder if you could just use mirror tiles? What would be the reflectivity then?

- hgomersall 3y agoI initially thought the same, but my current model is that the mirror would also have a very low emissivity so you can't passively cool (only not heat so much).
- the_jeremy 3y agoStandard mirrors are only ~98% reflective (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror#Reflectivity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror#Reflectivity). For example, "infinity mirrors" will fade as the number of reflections increase (https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/305329/are-infinite-reflections-between-two-mirrors-really-infinite https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/305329/are-infin...).
