Solar radiation reflective coating material on building envelopes: Heat transfer analysis and cooling energy saving

Heat transfer through building envelopes constitutes the dominant part of indoor cooling load in summer. Coating building external walls with high reflectivity materials proves to be an effective way to reduce heat gains from solar radiation and save cooling energy consumption accordingly. In this p...
