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 ...

A wedge strategy for mitigation of urban warming in future climate scenarios [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Heat stress is one of the most severe climate threats to human society in a future warmer world. The situation is further exacerbated in urban areas by urban heat islands (UHIs). Because the majority of world's population is projected to live in cities,

Features and Benefits of Cool Roofs: The Cool Roof Rating Council Program
Journal of Green Building, 2008 Abstract Green buildings incorporate many strategies to reduce energy use and environmental impacts and improve occupant health. Cool roofs are one important green building strategy because of the immense positive benefit they can provide. Cool roofs are not a new phenomenon, but they are essential to the construction and maintenance of energy ...

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).
