RP1037u1: Interim Report 2 - Above-Roof Temperature Impacts on Heating Penalties of Large Cool Roofs in Australian Climates

This is the second interim report for project RP1037u1. It contains key research outcomes produced since the first interim report was published, including three primary activities: 

1. Implementation of the newly developed roof condensation model in dynamic building performance simulations (BPS).
2. A parametric BPS study, investigating the performance of cool and ‘non-cool’ bare metal-coated steel roofs on a case-study building, as well as the influence of the roof condensation model and revised above-roof temperature model on those simulations.
3. Cost-benefit analysis and greenhouse gas emissions abatement estimates of a cool roof product, based on results from the BPS study.
