Investigating the Effect of Dust Accumulation on the Solar Reflectivity of Coating Materials for Cool Roof Applications
Cool roofs use reflective materials or coatings to reflect a portion of the incident solar radiation. This results in a lowering the surface temperature of the cool roof compared to black roofs, and thus helps reduce the cooling energy loads during the summer season. The research reported in this pa...
