Assessment of the Temperature of Waterproofing Membrane When A Recycled Crushed Glass Finish Layer Is Used On Flat Roofs to Protect From Sun Radiance

Many flat roofs are finished with crushed stone aggregates of natural or artificial origin. The use of recycled crushed glass as a cool roof is potentially a double opportunity to reduce the environmental footprint: it is a recycled material and it may reduce air-conditioning demand. In order to evaluate the real efficiency of recycled crushed glass, this research compared the results with other technical alternatives that are generally applied in real conditions.
