Field Investigation on Thermal Performance of the Tile Ventilator

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigates the thermal performance of the tile ventilator for attic ventilation to reduce ceiling heat gain into space room. Two small houses were built using common construction materials; one common house served as reference and the other was used to test in experiments. The external ventilation pattern was considered. The inlet air openings are located at eaves and the outlet air at the tile ventilators. The results were performed that the tile ventilator is effective for reducing attic air temperature, ceiling temperature and also room temperature. Due to solar intensity during daytime, the tile ventilator could decrease heat accumulation in attic space. However, it is suitable for promoting to integrate on the roof tile.
