Abstract
The thermal performance of roof configurations consists of one of the colour paints (surface treatment) analysed in terms of indoor temperature. Hourly floating temperature is evaluated using a modified Fourier admittance method for roofs with surface treatment of paints. A simulation is carried out to obtain optimal roof structure with surface treatment of colour paints for composite climate, New Delhi. Roof contributes maximum heat gain in the buildings during summer leading to higher-energy consumption throughout the summer. The impact of colour paints is analysed in terms of minimum hourly floating room temperature in the buildings. The simulation results indicated that all roof structures with colour paint performed better than roof structures without colour.
