Study on the Accelerated Aging Test Method in the Development of a Self-Cleaning Topcoat for Cool Roofs [PDF]
Atmosphere, 2020 The heat island phenomenon in urban areas has become a problem in the recent years. One measure to overcome this, which has been attracting attention, is painting the cool roof with a paint that has high solar reflectance.

Thermal performance evaluation of a cool roof model in hot – dry climate [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Roof is an essential component of the building envelope which is exposed direct solar radiation and contributes to the maximum load of the total cooling load of the building; and is an essential interface between the indoor and outdoor environments and ...

Economic comparison of cool and grey roofs of a small office building in the USA [PDF]
SHS Web of Conferences, 2023 EnergyPlus V9.0 simulations of a typical small office building prototype in five USA cities (Albuquerque, Atlanta, Buffalo, San Diego, Rochester) indicate that adding a cool roof (albedo 0.6) for an aged grey roof (albedo 0.2) would reduce the annual ...
