Effects of Roofing Materials and Inclination Angle on Temperature Distribution of Building

Abstract

This paper presents the effect of roof materials and inclinations on the temperature distribution in the building. The roof is used as a means of weather protection, in the order design should be considered the temperature distribution in the building because roof has different types, prices and materials. Considering the effect of roof parameters on the temperature, the roof will features different considerations in the selection. Thus, this research was presented the effect of roof materials and inclinations on temperature distribution, the size of the building was 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.8 m. (W x L x H), the walls materials was made of light weight concrete, inner and outer  plastered, the ceiling was made of gypsum board. Roof inclination angle was 15°, 20° and 25°, amount 3 building and testing effect of roof materials and inclination angle on temperature distribution. The roof material was consists of metal sheet, tile roofing and C-pac roofing.

The results shown that the maximum temperature at under roofing and building center were 45°C and 43.9 °C when using metal sheet and C-pac material, respectively. The inclination angle of the roof increases, the temperature in the building was slightly increases.
