PESQUISA SOBRE O SISTEMA DE RESFRIAMENTO EVAPORATIVO

Research by P. Gandhidasan at The University of the West Indies in 1989 showed that 60 percent of a building’s heat flux comes from the roof. Gandhidasan’s experiment found that by using a water-cooled roof system, the temperature inside the building at the peak of the day’s heat was reduced from 45 degrees centigrade to 25 degrees centigrade — without use of an air conditioning system.
