What is Thermal Performance of Roofs with Tiles about?

This study experimentally evaluated the thermal performance of four different roof configurations in Florianópolis, Brazil. The roofs tested were: 1) a reference roof with standard fibre cement tiles, 2) tiles painted white, 3) a radiant barrier installed, and 4) conventional thermal insulation using expanded polystyrene. Temperature and heat flow sensors collected data over eight months. All test roofs had lower thermal gain than the reference roof, with reductions of 55% for white tiles, 67% for the radia
