Abstract:Depleting non-renewable resources and global warming motivated researchers to focus on passive cooling solutions to minimize the internal temperature of buildings. The benefits of using stacked coir mat and perlite in wet and dry conditions are tested for their cooling capacity compared to green roofs are explored in this research work. The benefits are quantified in terms of heat flow and temperature variations in a field experiment, and they are compared to a conventional bare roof in a tropical region in th… Show more
