1 A Review of Thermal Analysis on Novel Roofing Systems Yuanpei Song Purdue University

2 Outline Objective Cool roof Green roof PCM roof

3 Objective Summarize» key s» thermal analysis methodologies,» energy savings Provide a comprehensive thermal analysis method applied in novel roof systems.

4 Cool Roof Cool roofs are designed to keep the roof cool by reflecting the incident solar radiation away from the building roof and radiating the stored heat away at night. Proven benefits:» Saving energy consumption of cooling,» Improving indoor comfort,» Mitigating the heat island phenomena,» Reducing maintenance by extension lifetime.
