Total Solar Reflectance Optimization of the External Paint Coat in Residential Buildings Located in Mediterranean Climates

Total Solar Reflectance Optimization of the External Paint Coat in Residential Buildings Located in Mediterranean Climates

This work addresses the effect of the total solar reflectance (TSR) value of paints applied in residential buildings upon their thermal performance. A semi-detached residential building was modeled in the ESP-r software, and taken as the basis for parametric studies which assessed the effects of var...
