RADIATION CONTROL COATINGS: AN UNDERUTILIZED ENERGY CONSERVATION TECHNOLOGY FOR BUILDINGS.

Author(s) : ANDERSON R. W.

Summary

THE APPLICATION OF RADIATION CONTROL COATINGS (RCC) TO EXTERI OR ROOF AND WALL SURFACES CAN EFFECTIVELY BLOCK SOLAR HEAT GAINS TO THESE BUILDING COMPONENTS AND THEREBY SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE COOLING ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND THE SIZING OF COOLING EQUIPMENT. THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE STATUS OF THE RCC TECHNOLOGY AND THE BENEFITS TO BE GAINED FROM THEIR USE, INCLUDING ESTIMATED REDUCTIONS IN COOLING REQUIREMENTS AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION. PROJECTS ARE SUGGESTED TO DEMONSTRATE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF RCC TECHNOLOGY FOR BUILDING APPLICATIONS.
