Sustainability, an international, peer-reviewed Open Access journal. Dear Colleagues, CIRIAF (Inter-University Research Center on Pollution and Environment “Mauro Felli” is a research center, based at the University of Perugia, which promotes interdisciplinary research activities in the fields of environmental pollution and its health and socio-economic effects, sustainable development. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. doi: / 36 because many highway maintenance facilities have more roof area than wall area, cooling loads are driven by the roof heat gain, which is especially important for spaces cooled only by ventilation. Solar heat gain can negate the energy savings of daylighting systems if.

Meanwhile, the adoption of 50%-BEES can reduce cooling and heating electricity use intensity (kWh/m2/a) by 38%. However, energy savings are not significant if comparing buildings with 65%-BEES and 50%-BEES. The results indicate that there exists a performance gap between calculated design performance savings and actual operation energy savings.

Since dirt accumulation can alter the performance of high-albedo roofs as an energy efficiency measure, we examined.

absorption of solar energy, high-albedo coatings reduce building surface temperatures, and heat-transfer to the building interior. The lower surface temperatures also reduce the building's contribution to urban air temperature (Akbari et al., ).
To maximize cooling energy savings, high-albedo roof coatings should 1)have high solar reflectance. High-albedo materials can save cooling energy use by directly reducing the heat gain through a building`s envelope (direct effect) and also by lowering the urban air temperature in the neighborhood of the building (indirect effect).This project is an attempt to address high-albedo materials for buildings and to perform measurements of.

Reflective surfaces can deliver high solar reflectance (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface) and high thermal emittance (the ability to radiate absorbed, or non-reflected, solar energy).
Reflective surfaces are a form of geoengineering. The most well-known type of reflective surface is the "cool roof". One of the earliest whole-building studies measuring cooling energy savings from reflective roof coatings was performed by an electric utility in Southern Mississippi [15].
Two identical side-by-side commercial office buildings were monitored in which one had its roof. Also known as cool roofing, these roof coatings are available in a number of colors, surfaces, and thicknesses and can make a huge difference when it comes to saving money on energy costs and usage.
On top of that, they also aid in creating more comfortable indoor environments, and play a role in prolonging the life of roofs and roofing materials. (high-albedo) roofs, such as white coatings, the difference is only about lODe.
Measured data and computer simulations have demonstrated the impact of roof albedo in saving cooling energy use in buildings. Savings depend on the climate and the amount of roof insulation. The cooling energy savings for reflective roofs are highest in hot climates. Akbari, H., S.

FSEC-PF Abstract. A series of experiments in Florida residences have measured the impact on space cooling of increasing roof solar reflectance. In tests on 11 homes with the roof color changed mid summer, the average cooling energy use was reduced by 19%.
The materials used for construction of building absorb and transfer heat inside of the building all the day. Heat always flow from the warmer side to cooler side and cooler to warmer side. 80% to 95% of heat gain during summer and about 70% of heat loss during winter trasferred through the walls, ceiling and roofs of the building by way of conduction and radiation.
