Condensation problems in cool roofs

, 2022
S.1057-1064In some regions of the United States so called cool roofs have become mandatory in order to save cooling energy in summer and it is expected that these roofs will also become more widespread in other parts of the world.

Comparative Evaluation of Cool Roofs and Photovoltaic Roofs in Sustainable Buildings Within the Scope of the 3-E Static Payback Period Framework

Buildings
Building envelopes play a pivotal role in influencing building energy consumption. Among its components, the roof, as a critical element, directly absorbs solar radiation and serves as a primary medium for external heat exchange.
