Instruments measured weather conditions on the roof, temperatures inside the building and throughout the roof layers, and air conditioning and total building power consumption. Measurements were taken with the original black rubber roofing membrane and then after replacement with a white vinyl roof with the same insulation and HVAC systems in ...
Destratification is the reverse of the natural process of thermal stratification, which is the layering of differing (typically increasing) air temperatures from floor to ceiling. Stratification is caused by hot air rising up to the ceiling or roof space because it is lighter than the surrounding cooler air.
When radiant solar energy strikes a roof, heating the roofing material (shingles, tiles or roofing sheets) and roof sheathing by conduction, it causes the underside of the roof surface and the roof framing to radiate heat downward through the roof space (attic / ceiling cavity) toward the attic floor / upper ceiling surface.
The publication notes that predicting the weather is not an exact science, but, in general, most of the U.S. is experiencing a warmer, wetter winter, and only a few spots can expect snow.
An asphalt shingle roof has flexible asphalt shingles as the ridge cap. Some roof shingles are non-combustible or have a better fire rating than others which influence their use, some building codes do not allow the use of shingles with less than a class-A fire rating to be used on some types of buildings. Due to increased fire hazard, wood ...
The cold may not be many people’s favorite thing, but if you can brave the temperatures and spend time somewhere with snow in the forecast, it’s worth it to go outside and enjoy the sound of a ...
All the unseasonably cool weather led to "False Fall" once again trending on social media. ... The seasons will always inevitably change, and fall-and later winter-will always come. Show comments.
Warm air rises, so ceiling insulation is designed to have a higher r-value and the insulation is often installed between the ceiling joists or rafters. A properly insulated and ventilated roof is called a cold roof. A warm roof is a roof that is not ventilated, [9] where the insulation is placed in line with the roof pitch. [10]
