Technical Advances in the EU Cool Roof Project

open access: yesProceedings of the EuroSun 2010 Conference, 2010
Cool materials keep the roof cool under the sun by reflecting the solar radiation away from the building and radiating the stored heat away during night time. The potential of the technology is very promising at EU level and, in particular, in the Mediterranean area.

Performance evaluation of a metamaterial-based new cool roof using improved Roof Thermal Transfer Value model

open access: yesApplied Energy, 2019
A new cool roof with potential to generate significant energy savings in buildings has been developed from a metamaterial film named as RadiCold. Considering that the RadiCold film has unique optical and thermal characteristics and the current Roof ...

Optimization of cool roof and night ventilation in office buildings: A case study in Xiamen, China [PDF]

open access: yesRenewable Energy, 2020
Increasing roof albedo (using a “cool” roof) and night ventilation are passive cooling technologies that can reduce the cooling loads in buildings, but existing studies have not comprehensively explored the potential benefits of integrating these two ...

Above-roof air temperature effects on HVAC and cool roof performance: Experiments and development of a predictive model [PDF]

open access: yesEnergy and Buildings, 2020
In building performance simulations it is typically assumed that outdoor HVAC equipment is exposed to air at the outdoor ‘ambient’ temperature, obtained from a weather file.

Thermal Effects of Dew on Cool Roofs and Conventional Roofs in Building Performance Simulations

Energy and Buildings, 2022
This paper presents a numerical investigation of dew formation on the roofs of buildings, and its influence on building thermal and energy performance. A new semi-analytical model was developed to evaluate the effects of rooftop dew, including the release/absorption of latent heat due to condensation/evaporation, the variation of apparent thermal ...
