Thermal performance of roofs suitable for developing countries in tropical climate
Original language description
Roof structures have been traditionally built from reed or straw in tropical climate locations. Now, traditional materials are often replaced by pure metal sheets. The roof construction is improved in terms of durability and cost effectiveness, but he roof built from pure metal sheets can cause excessive overheating of interior spaces. The aim of this paper is to compare dynamic thermal performance of different roof assemblies under real boundary conditions. For this purpose, a thermally insulated test box was built on the roof of the university. Six roof samples (0,9 m x 1,1 m) can be mounted on the roof. The roof covering made of pure steel sheet with Zn coating was the reference case. This assembly was then modified step-by-step either by change of colour, or by additional material layers of reed and earth boards, or by 2cm thick ventilated air cavity on the rear side of the sheet. In total, 18 different roof assemblies were tested in three consecutive test runs (approximately three-week periods between 07 – 09-2020). Ventilated air gap and white paint are the best adjustments to reduce heat flux. Dark colours of the metal sheet have the opposite effect. Influence of reed and earth boards was in many cases similar. One roof assembly was selected for use in real project.
