ShareRoof solar reflectance and cooling energy use: field research results from Florida.
Author(s) : PARKER D. S., BARKASZKI S. F.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The experiments were conducted on nine residential buildings where roofs were whitened at midsummer. Measured air conditioner electrical savings averaged 19%, from 2 to 43%. Finds that cooling energy reductions appear to depend also on initial ceiling insulation level and roof solar reflectance, air duct system location and air conditioner sizing.
