| Popis: | When solar radiation hits a roof surface, a part of solar energy is reflected and part is absorbed. The absorbed part of solar energy results in an increase of the surface temperature of the roof. Cool reflective (white) roofs use bright surfaces to reflect the incident short-wave solar radiation, which lowers the surface temperature compared to conventional (black) roofs with bituminous membrane. As such, white roofs help reduce the urban heat island effect during the summer. The 2011 International Roofing Symposium, September 6-9 2011, Washington, D.C., US |
