Abstract:This paper examines the temperature profile of a building material and also a built space. The study directly examines the influence of solar radiation on building material and the heat it generated and diffuses into the built space. Two experiments are presented. The first look at a simple technique for evaluating heat performance of a building material, and the second evaluates the performance of a cross-ventilated built space with respect to solar radiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
