Thermal performance of coupled cool roof and cool façade: Experimental monitoring and analytical optimization procedure

, 2017
While UHI mitigation potential of cool roofs has been deeply investigated compared to cool façades, still not sufficient research effort has been dedicated to quantify the benefits of combined cool building products.

Effects of Summer Heat Stress on Physiological Parameters and Reproductive Efficiency of Barbarine Ewes Under Natural Outdoor or Indoor Conditions

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and rising ambient temperatures increasingly challenge sheep production systems in arid and semi‐arid regions, particularly during the summer breeding season. This study evaluated the effects of heat stress and direct solar exposure on physiological responses, metabolic profile, and reproductive performance of Barbarine ewes, a ...

Demonstration of energy savings of cool roofs [PDF]

, 1998
Dark roofs raise the summertime air-conditioning demand of buildings. For highly-absorptive roofs, the difference between the surface and ambient air temperatures can be as high as 90 F, while for highly-reflective roofs with similar insulative properties, the difference is only about 20 F.

Integrated tree canopy expansion and cool roofs can optimize air temperature and heat exposure reductions in Boston

Communications Earth & Environment
Tree canopy expansion and albedo management represent pathways to reduce urban heat. Here we develop a statistical model to downscale coarse resolution estimates of air temperature and estimate marginal impacts of tree canopy and cool roof solutions ...

Study of the Impact of Cool Roof on Urban Thermal Comfort in Hot Arid Climate, Biskra – Algeria

Proceedings of the International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism-ICCAUA, 2019
The Uncontrolled urban sprawl and the unadopted building to the environment are the main causes that generate the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon.
