This paper deals with the experimental evaluation of a roof-mounted multi-reflective radiant barrier (MRRB), installed according to the state of the art, on a dedicated test cell. An existing experimental device was completed with a specific system for the regulation of the airflow rate in the upper air layer included in a typical roof from Reunion Island. Several experimental sequences were conducted to determine the thermal resistance of the roof according to several parameters and following a specific method. The mean method, well known in international standards (ISO 9869-1994) for the determination of the thermal resistance using dynamic data, was used. The method was implemented in a building simulation code in order to allow the determination of the thermal indicator automatically. Experimental results are proposed according to different seasonal periods and for different values of the airflow rate in the upper air layer.
► Experimental method to evaluate R-values of Multi-Reflective Radiant Barriers.
► The method is applied on field measurements, with an experimental test cell.
► Implementation of the mean method has been made in a building simulation code.
► R-values are proposed for summer, winter and for several airflow rates in the roof.
► Results can be used by architects and engineers, to determine energy consumption.
