Hygrothermal Performance of Cool Roofs Subjected to Saudi Climates

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2019
In regions with hot climatic conditions such as that in Saudi Arabia, a substantial share of energy is used for cooling the buildings. Many studies have shown that cool (white) roofs can help reduce the cooling energy load and thus the demand for energy ...

Hygrothermal response of masonry facades with vapour-tight or capillary-active internal insulation under current and future climate scenarios

Built Heritage
Interior thermal insulation has been widely used to improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort of historic buildings. However, traditional vapour-tight insulation materials strongly influence the hygrothermal behaviour of facades, which may lead to ...
