A combinative use of the photovoltaic modules and roof coating on building was implemented for an institutional hall in Ghana. Computational fluid dynamics simulation was performed for both coated and uncoated roofs to investigate the heat transfer on the roof with regards to the temperature redu...

It was observed that the impact of cool coating is much more significant for low R-value (5- 15 cm~2-K/W) roof materials, such as metal roofs, as compared to high R-value (>800 cm~2-K/W) roof materials such as concrete, asphalt shingle, wood shingle, etc.Kishor T. Zingre...
