‘Super cool roofs’: Mitigating the UHI effect and enhancing urban thermal comfort with high albedo-coated roofs by Mohamed H. Elnabawi, Neveen Hamza, Reshna Raveendran

“…Human thermal comfort was considered in terms of physiologically equivalent temperature (PET), calculated by combining on-site field measurements with ENVI-met microclimate modelling and the RayMan model. The main environmental parameters addressed were roof surface temperature, ambient air temperature, and mean radiant temperature. …”

Cool Roofs in Hot Climates: A Conceptual Review of Modelling Methods and Limitations by Mohamed H. Elnabawi, Aysha Alhumaidi, Bana Osman, Reem Alshehhi

“…Following the literature review, in this study, a general framework is proposed which permits current modelling to progress beyond typical protocols, by including data linking a specific urban microclimate at the neighbourhood/city level with that of a building, thus connecting the microclimatic environment with objective assessment of energy efficiency. …”
