Roof cooling by direct evaporation from a porous layer [PDF]
Energy and Buildings, 2016 As the world continues to urbanise, significant challenges are arising to environment, energy and water sustainability in cities. One of the most challenging consequences of increased urbanisation is increased energy consumption adversely affecting the quality of life, environment and public health.

Experimental Analysis of Natural Gravel Covering as Cool Roofing and Cool Pavement [PDF]
Sustainability, 2014 Passive solutions for building energy efficiency represent an interesting research focus nowadays. In particular, natural materials are widely investigated for their potential intrinsic high thermal energy and environmental performance. In this view, natural stones represent a promising solution as building envelope covering and urban pavement.

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.

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.
