Abstract
An information handling system, comprising: a voltage source; a thermally regulated structure, including: a thermal fabric layer, the thermal fabric layer having a porosity; a laminate layer coupled to the thermal fabric layer, wherein a shape of the laminate layer controls the porosity of the thermal fabric layer; a temperature sensor configured to detect a first temperature of the information handling system; a thermal management controller to perform operations comprising: determining that the first temperature is above a threshold; in response, calculating a voltage to apply to the thermally regulated structure based on the first temperature; and providing a command to the voltage source to apply the voltage to the laminate layer of the thermally regulated structure to adjust a shape of the laminate layer such the porosity of the thermal fabric provides an emissivity of the thermally regulated structure to thermally radiate heat from the thermally regulated structure.
