Global warming is an imminent threat to our planet, with some serious consequences, and a major contributor to global warming is the urban heat island effect, which is due to rapid urbanization. Urbanization is inevitable, but what we can do to offset its impact is to focus on energy efficiency of new buildings and structures to reduce its impact.
When we talk of buildings and new structures, roofing plays an extremely vital role in the urban heat island. As per the U.S. EPA, 80 percent of the energy conservation of a single story building is through its roof. For any urban area, roofing constitutes almost 70 percent of the surface area of the total urban area. With these facts roofing suddenly plays a pivotal role, internally for the energy conservation of a building and externally for the urban heat island effect.
Conventional Roofing System
The conventional roofing system consists of multiple layers. Each layer has a distinguished purpose and function and, for the efficacy of the complete system, it is mandatory that each layer resonate with each other. The predominant major components of a roo
