PY - 2019 T1 - Near-roof air temperatures: modelling the implications for HVAC performance and cool roofs PB - Building Simulation Conference, 2-4 September 2019, Rome, Italy DO - https://doi.org/APO-236951 UR - https://apo.org.au/node/236951 AB - Conventionally in building performance simulations (BPS), it is assumed that air entering outdoor HVAC equipment is at the outdoor ‘ambient’ temperature, obtained from a weather file. However, significant spatial variations exist in outdoor air temperature fields, especially within the thermal boundary layers that form near exposed surfaces like roofs. ER -
