The cooling effect of various kinds of greenery cover was investigated by both experimental model and computer simulation. Four concrete roof models were constructed and different coverings were arranged for each: bare concrete, soil layer, soil layer with turf, and soil layer with ivy. Temperature profiles, including air temperature in the air space under the roof were measured along with other environmental...
In subtropical Hong Kong, solar heat through fenestration, particularly on vertical surfaces, plays a major role in determining the thermal performance of a building. For sizing air-conditioning equipment, maximum solar heat gain factors (SHGFs) are used for estimating the design peak load. Recently, the SHGF data representing the prevailing weather conditions have become important and more practical...
