Selection of the best radiant barrier system (RBS) location in double skin ventilated roofs

Double skin ventilated roof is one of the important passive cooling techniques to reduce solar heat gain through roofs by reducing both the conduction and convection heat transfer from the roof to the ceiling of buildings. On the other hand, Radiant barrier system (RBS) is very powerful in blocking...
