2. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

   According to a study by the Florida Solar Energy Center, [8] a white tile or white metal cool roof can outperform a traditional black shingle roof with a radiant barrier in the attic, but the black shingle roof with a radiant barrier outperformed the red tile cool roof. For installing a radiant barrier under a metal or tile roof, the radiant ...

3. Interior radiation control coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_radiation_control...

   The energy conserving property has been defined as thermal emittance (the ability of a surface to release radiant energy that it has absorbed). Those coatings qualified as Interior Radiation Control Coatings must show a thermal emittance of 0.25 or less. This means that an IRCCS will block 75% or more of the radiant heat transfer. These low "E ...

4. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

   A perfect roof would absorb no heat in the summer and lose no heat in the winter. To do this it would need a very high SRI to eliminate all radiative heat gains in summer and losses in winter. High SRI roofs act as a radiant barrier, providing a thermos-bottle effect. High emissivity cool roofs carry a climate penalty due to winter radiative ...

6. Sarking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarking

   In modern usage of the term in Australia, sarking refers to a laminated aluminium foil layer, or reflective foil laminate (RFL), that is installed on the roof trusses, beneath the battens, supporting a tile or metal deck roof. It acts as additional radiative (radiant barrier) and convective insulation and provides a condensation barrier. [1]

7. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Radiant barriers prevent radiant heat transfer equally in both directions. However, heat flow to and from surfaces also occurs via convection, which in some geometries is different in different directions. Reflective aluminum foil is the most common material used as a radiant barrier. It has no significant mass to absorb and retain heat.
