Abstract
Today, it is not well-known the impact of cool roofs during heating season in balanced climates. Proposed study tries to quantify the increase of energy demands of buildings characterized by high-reflective and high-emissive coatings of roof, by means of experiments and numerical simulations. Three coatings are investigated with different solar absorptance and thermal emittance.The experiments have been carried out at the living lab of the University of Sannio, a full-scale test-room, provided with a large flexibility in terms of variability of the thermal envelope and air-conditioning system. Moreover, numerical evaluations of heating and annual energy consumptions are presented.
