A Study on the Energy-Saving Reconstruction of the Roof of Existing Building

Article Preview

Abstract:

The energy-saving reconstruction for the existing building is very important for the large number of existing buildings in China. The energy-saving reconstruction in the roof is the key of the building energy-saving construction, and also the inevitable way for improving the urban heat island effect and comfort of the top-floor rooms. The energy-saving roof can be divided into two types including passive cooling and proactive cooling. This article analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the two types before coming up with the ways and expectation for the energy-saving construction of the existing building roof.
