Rain On The Roof-Evaporative Spray Roof Cooling
, 1985 This paper describes evaporative spray roof cooling systems, their components, performance and applications in various climates and building types. The evolution of this indirect evaporative cooling technique is discussed. Psychrometric and sol-air principles are covered and a simplified method of evaluation presented.

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 ...

Comparing PV-green and PV-cool roofs to diverse rooftop options using decision analysis
Building and Environment, 2023 Flat roofs can employ a range of technologies to improve sustainability, such as photovoltaic (PV) panels, green roofs, cool roofs, or a combination of these options. Yet, weighing the benefits, costs, and performance of different roofing technologies is

Cool Roofs in Hot Climates: A Conceptual Review of Modelling Methods and Limitations
Buildings, 2022 Cool roofs are a long-term alternative for the creation of a building’s thermal comfort as they can reduce the energy required for cooling demands and mitigate the urban heat island effect, thus benefitting both buildings and cities.
