Experimental data on the effects of attic radiant barrier systems and outside wall and roof coatings on the inside room space temperature.

Author(s) : MOUJAES S., BRICKMAN R. A.

Summary

A radiant barrier system insulation and a highly reflective ceramically enhanced paint were tested separately and together. The location of the test is Las Vegas, in the desert southwest portion of the United States (high summer insolation). A significant temperature gradient across the radiant barrier system was obtained (without any added insulation in the interior structure of the outside walls). A significant overall temperature drop in the entire roof and wall structure was achieved through the application of white ceramic paint on the outside walls and roof. The coupling of the two products are shown to result in reducing exterior roof and exterior wall temperatures and inside ambient air temperatures.
