Hygrothermal performance of cool roofs with reflective coating material subjected to hot, humid and dusty climate

Journal of Building Physics, 2021
The measurements for the short-wave solar reflectivity of a Reflective Coating Material (RCM) with various cleaning operations that were obtained in a previous study were used in this study to conduct numerical simulations in order to assess the moisture

Cool Roofs vs Solar Systems

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2016
Well known problem of urban heat island is partly due to the albedo of traditional roofs. Mostexperts of urban climate are convinced that the intensity of urban heat island will be less if theroofs reflect as big part of the solar radiation as possible.

Thermal performance assessment of cool roofs on supermarkets through case analysis in 13 cities

, 2021
PurposeThis paper aims to study the use of cool roof technology to avoid unnecessary energy consumption in supermarkets. This will allow to reduce and even cancel the heat absorbed by the roofs, transferring it to the buildings and thus, creating more ...

Cool materials and cool roofs: Potentialities in Mediterranean buildings

Advances in Building Energy Research, 2010
Abstract The Mediterranean is a complex region, with differences in terms of environmental hazards, population growth, urban sprawl and economic development. The climate change affects all of the area and common risks are already detected. An urban heat island was monitored in a large and medium urban area.

Radiative cooling by a diode roof

Solar & Wind Technology, 1986
Abstract The research of thermal comfort in buildings has always been a preoccupation for people. In hot regions, generally, the problem to solve, in order to enjoy thermal comfort, is effective cooling. Architecture evolution in the last few years, in hot and arid regions, and particularly in the Third World, dictates that cooling systems in ...
