Maximum Temperatures of Roof Tiles during the Summer Period

Article Preview

Abstract:

Solar radiation is the main source of heat gains during the summer period. The most exposed non-translucent structure of the building is the roof. Material characteristics of roof tiles are able to influence the upper surface temperature and also the thermal performance of the whole roof structure. The aim of this article is comparison of the highest temperatures of roofing tiles reached by a summer day in accordance to their material characteristics. Data obtained from an in-situ measurement are compared with the values obtained by numerical calculation. The temperatures obtained by in-situ measurement are higher than thus earned by numerical calculation.
