Active cool roof effect: impact of cool roofs on cooling system efficiency
Advances in Building Energy Research, 2013 Cool roofs represent an acknowledged, relatively simple, and low-cost strategy to reduce cooling energy demand of buildings and mitigate urban heat island phenomena. The purpose of this paper is to study the coupled passive–active effect produced by such a technology, where the active effect consists of the cool roof capability to decrease the suction ...
