Numerical modeling of the impacts of high albedo materials on building energy savings by R.E.W.M.R.K Nisansala Ratnadiwakara

“…The impact of increasing solar reflectance from 0.4 to 0.8 for non insulated reinforced concrete is equivalent to the impact achieved by including 20~22 mm of insulation material with 0.03 W/mK thermal conductivity and it was further verified, increasing solar reflectance in both non-insulated and insulated roofs are more effective in reducing conduction heat gain compared to the double skin roof. The conduction heat gain contribution to the annual energy consumption is reduced in the range of 4 - 4.5 kWh/m2 due to the impact of increasing solar reflectance from 0.4 to 0.8 in a lower floor which has no effect from roof conduction. …”

Dissecting the structure-compaction-performance relationship of thin-film composite polyamide membranes with different structure features by Zhao, Yali, Lai, Gwo Sung, Chong, Jeng Yi, Wang, Rong

“…On the other hand, the TFC membrane with a PA layer of low protuberances formed atop a loose substrate showed a greater decrease (∼18.5%) in water permeability. The densified skin layer and collapsed macro-voids within the loose substrate resulted in a ∼40% decrease in the overall height of the PA layer and a 65% decline in substrate surface porosity, respectively, which are identified as the reasons for the reducing water permeability. …”
