Bristol Stickney

confidence: low volatility: cold

Collaborator on Steve Baer's October 2002 heated-vs-unheated-plates experiments (proving night-sky radiation can exceed 9.5 W/ft²) and co-author of the 2006 New Mexico night-sky radiant cooling (NSRC) state report with Mark Chalom.

Collaborator on two of the archive’s key experimental sources. First: the October 2002 heated-vs-unheated-plates experiments with Steve Baer, using matched 12″×12″ aluminum plates (one heated, one not) to measure night-sky radiative heat loss — the work that empirically confirmed night radiation can exceed 9.5 W/ft², direct support for the Cool Cell premise. See Heated vs unheated plates for the experiment itself.

Second: co-author, with Mark Chalom Architect and Kate Snider, of the 2006 New Mexico state-funded night-sky radiant cooling (NSRC) report for Governor Richardson’s Water Innovation Fund — see Night sky radiant cooling potentials in New Mexico. A separate note in the archive references a “Utah project” where Stickney and Mark Chalom “have repeated many of our experiments on night cooling,” suggesting an ongoing working relationship with Baer beyond the two documented projects.

Unknown

Full name, professional affiliation, and location are not documented in the archive beyond his appearance as a named collaborator in these two projects.
