The authors clarify the basic ideas of roof cooling and describe intimately the suitable elements, purposes, outfitted precedents, fresh experimental paintings and key layout concerns. particular platforms and methods are tested, together with the most benefits and downsides of every strategy.
Environmental services are thought of by way of protecting concepts and selective innovations. protecting thoughts contain sun regulate, thermal insulation, warmth garage and thermal inertia. Selective ideas comprise radiative, evaporative and convective cooling and planting of roofs.
Traditional and present roof building practices are defined, exemplified by means of case reviews from throughout Europe.
Including a loose CD-ROM with software program that allows readers to guage their very own designs, this e-book could be helpful for architects and engineers who desire to create structures which are extra energy-efficient.
