I once did a related project advocating rooftop gardening as a solution for sustainable vegetation and one benefit we explored was the lowering of the roof temperature. <br /><br />It was significant that rooftop floor tiles can reach a whooping temperature of 51 degree celcius on a sunny day. Meaning to say that heat absorbed by a building can easily affect its temperature, air flow and etc. This problem is made worse in Singapore due to the urban landscape causing the urban heat phenomenon.<br /><br />I most certainly look forward to the result of your research. <br /><br />Hua ShengHua Shenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818935369015240980noreply@blogger.com
