Refurbishing existing buildings to reduce energy use is a priority worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. Millions of around the globe have old roofs that are poorly insulated, but with large roof surface areas could potentially provide significant renewable generation. Often, photovoltaic panels simply added onto regardless thermal integrity. However, due weathering, frequently need repairs over ...

Malaysia, like most other developing countries, is facing an increase in the generation of waste and accompanying problems with disposal this waste. A large number biomass wastes were generated due to increased activity agricultural agro-industrial sectors, which led producing environmental hazards management issues. On situation, energy consumption cool indoor building environment high being e...

Silica aerogel possesses an ultra-low thermal conductivity by virtue of its nano-structure. Owing to the fragility monolithic aerogel, development and production aerogel-based insulation materials involve incorporation granular with other form composite materials. In present study, application silica-aerogel-incorporated cement paste as render on roof-top surface is coupled installation a novel...

In this study, for the purpose of applying air milk as a sound insulation material against rain noise on wooden roof panel covered with galvalume steel plate, an experimental investigation was conducted regarding effect filling performance in comparison unfilled conventional method, which performances flexural loading, and panels were examined.

The benefits of rooftop greening are ascertained in thermal perspective. It effectively reduces the near surface ambient temperature and the reflected irradiation from the rooftop slab, thus increasing the thermal comfort environment above the lawn and reduces the heat transferred through the rooftop slab. The former effect enables the potential usage of the rooftop spaces for human activity an...
