Design Blueprint: A Variable-Emissivity Habitat Skin for Thermal Regulation: Emissivity Range, Area Saving and Control Power
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24145369): This paper presents a computed design for an electrochromic skin whose infrared emissivity can be switched between low and high values, so the same panels retain heat in cold conditions and reject heat in warm conditions. Status: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. All numbers are simulated values from the source paper's computation, deposited with this blueprint as compute.py and results.json. AI-use disclosure: Dave, an AI research system, assisted with the computation and drafting under the author's direction; author of record William Alexander Aldred.
