Created byEDS Bangladesh
Last updated 1/2018
Bangla

What you'll learn

  • Identify what a cool roof is
  • Understand how a cool roof works
  • Describe the benefits of cool roofs
  • Identify cool roofing materials and options
  • Define key properties of cool roof

Course content

2 sections • 9 lectures • 1h 23m total length

  • Introduction4:53

    The first part of the Cool Roof course is broken down into smaller part covering the technical terms and its concepts.

    In this module, you will understand how the first section is structured with its learning objectives.

  • Module 15:15

    Learn how fundamentals behind how heat is transferred through the roof.

  • Module 313:03

    You will understand how how solar insolation impacts the heat ingress through the roof. 

  • module 47:33

    Learn how two key material property - reflectance, absorptance and reflectivity and emissivity plays an important role in how a cool roof works. What is the physics behind it and how one material works differently than the other.

  • module 514:18

    Learn how the two key material properties - absorptance and reflectance determine the performance of a cool roof. This determines the SRI of a cool roof material which measures how cool is a material.

Requirements

  • Do green buildings interest you? Then this course will help you learn one of the key aspects of a green building.
  • If you are an architect with keen interest in green building design, this course is just for you !
  • You want to enhance your knowledge on green buildings, but will not be designing anything yourself, then this course will surely enhance your knowledge
  • You own a house and are looking for ways to reduce cooling energy use, then this course will help clear how cool roof is the solution you are looking for

Description

This course is approved for 1.5 GBCI CE hours.

Roof is the exposed to intense solar radiation throughout the day which in-turn increases the cooling load of the building and consequently the energy consumption. A cool roof works on the principle of reflecting solar radiation, hence minimizing heat transfer to the interior of the building through the roof. This is a simple and effective strategy to reduce cooling energy consumption. Cool roofs are also known for their benefit towards mitigating urban heat island effect.

The course is structured in two parts with several modules in each part. The first part covers covers the fundamental technical ground on how a cool roof works. Once you are clear on this, you can understand cool roof better. The second lecture explains what are the different materials available as cool roof and what are its benefits. 

This course is offered in Bangla language. A Bangla version of the course description is also available for your reading in the 'resources' section.

At the end of this course, you will be able to explain the working principle of a cool roof and its benefit to the building and surroundings.You will also be familiar with material options and installation method. Further, you will also understand other alternatives that can also reduce heat ingress thereby keeping the building interiors cool.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to learn about green buildings and sustainability
  • You do not need to be a professional..this is a beginner course that is aimed at demystifying the topic
