“…Besides, it is important to emphasise that the performance of the roof surface also depends on the thermal emissivity that drives the radiative exchanges of the roof with the sky and the surrounding objects. Several studies were carried out during the past years and showed the potentialities and limits of the technology by means of numerical analyses (Akbari, Bretz, Kurn, & Hartford, 1997;Christen & Vogt, 2004;Suehrcke, Peterson, & Selby, 2008;Synnefa, Santamouris, & Akbari, 2007;Zinzi, 2010) and monitoring in real buildings (Bozonnet, Doya, & Allard, 2011;Carnielo, Fanchiotti, & Zinzi, 2011;Kolokotroni, Gowreesunker, & Giridharan, 2011;Kolokotsa, Diakaki, Papantoniou, & Vlissidis, 2011;Paolini et al, 2013;Parker et al, 1998;Romeo & Zinzi, 2011;Synnefa, Saliari, & Santamouris, 2012;Zinzi, Carnielo, & Agnoli, 2012).…”
