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 ...
Fresh snowflakes continue to dampen sound even once they reach the ground, turning the world into a sort of soundbooth with padding on every surface to prevent sound waves from bouncing around the ...
Statewide, the highest rainfall amounts occur during the summer months. In northern Florida, there is a weak winter secondary maximum while statewide the driest months of the year are during the spring. [17] During El Niño, Florida sees greater rainfall between November and March. [12]
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.

Earlier this week, temperatures across the Midwest and the Northeast felt more like fall than late summer, as many people woke up to chilly mornings. In the coolest spots on Wednesday and Thursday ...
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.
