The Impact of Roof Pitch and Ceiling Insulation on Cooling Load of Naturally-Ventilated Attics

Wang, Shimin; Shen, Zhigang; Gu, Linxia - In: Energies 5 (2012) 7, pp. 2178-2196

ceiling insulation on the cooling load of gable-roof residential buildings are investigated based on the simulation of … ceiling insulation. Furthermore, it is predicted that the ceiling insulation plays a control role on the attic cooling load … and that an increase of roof pitch from 3/12 to 8/12 results in a decrease in the cooling load by around 9% in the …
