Become a Test Partner

Help us bring practical cooling solutions to more places.

MEER is developing new PDRC paint products and canopy systems, and we are looking to connect with potential test partners across the United States, Europe and Asia. If you have a suitable space and would like to help demonstrate and evaluate these solutions, we would love to hear from you.

Passive daytime radiative cooling, or PDRC, is an approach that reflects sunlight and releases heat to help keep surfaces cooler without electricity.

What could you help test?

PDRC paint products

Reflective cooling coatings being developed for suitable roofs and other surfaces. Partners could help us understand how these products perform in different settings and share practical feedback on application and use.

Canopy systems

Cooling and shading structures under development for outdoor spaces, including small and medium-sized agricultural sites such as smallholdings, market gardens, nurseries, orchards or livestock areas. Potential partners could offer suitable locations for future demonstrations, with installation and monitoring requirements discussed individually.

Who can take part?

Who can take part?

We welcome interest from homeowners, schools, community groups, businesses, property owners, small and medium-sized farms or agricultural sites, and research organisations in the United States, Europe and Asia.

You do not need to be a scientist to get involved. A suitable location, an interest in practical cooling and a willingness to document your experience could make you a valuable partner. Relevant construction, coating application or monitoring experience is welcome but not essential for every opportunity.

What would participation involve?

What would participation involve?

Different locations will support different types of collaboration. Some partners may apply a product following our guidance, take basic surface temperature measurements with a handheld infrared thermometer, and share photographs, video reviews and feedback.

Selected sites may support more detailed research involving sensors and longer periods of monitoring. We will discuss the appropriate approach, practical requirements and responsibilities with each partner before anything is agreed.

Simple demonstrations provide practical feedback and are distinct from controlled research trials.

How it works

  1. 01

    Tell us about your location, space and interests.

  2. 02

    We review potential sites as products and testing plans develop.

  3. 03

    We contact suitable candidates to discuss the opportunity and agree the next steps.

Register your interest

Tell us a little about your site. We will be in touch if a suitable opportunity becomes available.

Fields marked required help us understand where you are and what you could offer. Everything else is optional.

Would you be comfortable sharing photographs, videos or temperature readings?
