Author(s) : SODHA M. S.

Type of article: Article

Summary

DESCRIBES AN EVALUATION OF THE ENERGY CONSERVATION POTENTIAL OF THE EVAPORATIVE ROOF COOLING TECHNIQUE FOR A CINEMA IN A COMPOSITE CLIMATE (DELHI). TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THERMAL LOADS DUE TO HEAT CONDUCTION THROUGH THE BUILDING ENVELOPE, THE REQUIRED VENTILATION AND THE OCCUPANTS. EMPLOYS LIFE CYCLE COST ANALYSIS TO EVALUATE THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ENERGY CONSERVATION TECHNIQUE. FINDS THAT EVAPORATIVE COOLING ON THE ROOF LEADS TO A NET SAVING OF 14% IN THE INITIAL INVESTMENT AND 17% IN THE ANNUAL COST. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 24, N 3, 1989/05-06, 89-00777.
