| Abstract | |
The search for materials, technologies and ways that can get constructions more energy efficient has been a concern of researches, educators and designers not only in Brazil, but also in the world. The use of light colors on roofing has been studied a lot; like cooling strategy for hot climates. The aim of this work is to analyze thermal performance of white coatings on roofing and to estimate energy savings in a room with white coating on roofing. Evaporative cooling, added to reflective cooling, was used through rain-water spraying on coating surfaces. Some testing on coatings as thermal emissivity, solar reflectance and absorption of sprayed water were requested for characterization of coatings thermal performance. In consequence of that literature review related to these themes was necessary to investigate methodologies applied in researches which have been done in the world. Commercial and ordinary paintings (of different chemical compositions, but with same color: white) were applied on fiber cement tiles in association to water spraying in weather conditions. Inside-surface temperatures and meteorological data were collected and analyzed together with solar reflectance, thermal emissivity and water absorption by tile coatings. Results of reflective technique proved expectations and illustrated that some attention is requested to choose the kind of white painting. However, when these coatings received water spraying on surfaces, they got the best results. The white coatings influences were considered through an annual thermal simulation energy saving. This work has the purpose to contribute with existing additional information in relation to white painting available, in order to get less roofing temperatures as well as to show that the rain water usage could be a tool for decreasing drained water on streets in rainy season (AU) | |
