چکیده
This paper deals with the evaluation of the outdoor performances of a composite roof, composed of a corrugated iron rooftop, a radiant barrier and a ceiling made of wood, each component being separated by an air space. This assembly is mounted on a small-scale test cell, named Isotest, designed and set up for research purposes. Isotest is installed on an experimental platform, dedicated to the complete study of the outdoor performances of radiant barrier systems. After an introduction to the study, the entire experimental disposal is described in details. The results are then presented, followed by an analysis.
