Thermal analysis of roof‐spray cooling
International Journal of Energy Research, 1998 Roof-spray cooling systems have been developed and implemented to reduce the heat gain through roofs so that conventional cooling systems can be reduced in size or eliminated. Currently, roof-spray systems are achieving greater effectiveness due to the availability of direct digital controls (DDC).

On the cooling energy conservation potential of super cool roofs
Energy and Buildings, 2022 The implementation of radiative cooling materials can cool the substrate and the indoor air. It will generate energy saving for cooling in summer but increase the energy demand for heating in winter. In this study, a new method using TRNSYS integrated with MATLAB thermal model to calculate the energy saving for buildings with spectral-dependent ...

, 2017 The motive of undertaking this project “cool roofs technology” discusses the various technical and design considerations as applicable for a composite climate. The primary intent of “cool roof technology” is to reduce the amount of energy (heat) absorbed by a roof surface and maintain the temperature of upper floors in building in summer season.
