We developed and studied key performance indexes and representations of energy simulation heat fluxes to evaluate the performance of the evaporative cooling process as a passive cooling technique for a commercial building typology. These performance indexes, related to indoor thermal comfort, energy consumption and their interactions with their surrounding environments, contribute to understanding the interactions between the urban climate and building for passive cooling integration. We compare the performance indexes for current and future climates (2080), according to the highest emission scenario A2 of the Special Report on Emission Scenario (SRES). Specific building models were adapted with both green roof and wetted roof techniques. The results show that summer thermal discomfort will increase due to climate change and could become as problematic as winter thermal discomfort in a temperate climate. Thanks to evapotranspiration phenomena, the sensible heat contribution of the building to the urban heat island (UHI) is reduced for both current and future climates with a green roof. The performance of the vegetative roof is related to the water content of the substrate. For wetted roofs, the impacts on heat transferred to the surrounding environment are higher for a Mediterranean climate (Marseille), which is warmer and drier than the Paris climate studied (current and future climates). The impact on indoor thermal comfort depends on building insulation, as demonstrated by parametric studies, with higher effects for wetted roofs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Highly- and retro-reflective materials have recently been investigated and proposed as a new urban coating solution to reduce the so-called urban heat island effect. The present study aims at providing a numerical model for assessing inter-buildings solar reflections when these materials are applied to urban canyon's surfaces. The proposed model includes a function that accounts for sunray angle dependency of the solar reflectance, which is specifically important with regard to retro-reflective behavior. The novelty of this numerical model based on a Monte Carlo simulation approach implemented in the Matlab simulation environment is to conduct full ray-tracing solar analyses which can reproduce the energy exchange phenomena and simulate optical material properties. Experimental validation and inter-software comparison are carried out with measured data collected in an experimental facility in La Rochelle, France, in addition to simulation results from the Radiance -based Diva for Rhino tool. The results of the numerical model developed are in line with the values measured in the physical model (daily percent variation of 1.3% in summer) and within the boundary conditions defined in the present work. The residues, which were calculated for the hourly values throughout the day, are found to be in the range of ± 10 W/m
2 , with the arithmetic average and standard deviation equal to – 2 W/m2 and 7 W/m2 respectively. • A Monte Carlo-based model for full ray-tracing solar analyses is developed. • The numerical model contributes to the development of retro-reflective technology. • The numerical model is validated against experimental data from La Rochelle, France. • An inter-software comparison is conducted between the model and Diva for Rhino. • Simulation outputs from the numerical model are in line with those from Diva for Rhino.

Abstract: This paper describes a dynamic model of transient heat and mass transfer across a green roof component. The thermal behavior of the green roof layers is modeled and coupled to the water balance in the substrate that is determined accounting for evapotranspiration. The water balance variations over time directly impact the physical properties of the substrate and the evapotranspiration intensity. This thermal and hydric model incorporates wind speed effects within the foliage through a new calculation of the resistance to heat and mass transfer within the leaf canopy. The developed model is validated with experimental data from a one-tenth-scale green roof located at the University of La Rochelle. A comparison between the numerical and the experimental results demonstrates the accuracy of the model for predicting the substrate temperature and water content variations. The heat and mass transfer mechanisms through green roofs are analyzed and explained using the modeled energy balances, and parametric studies of green roof behavior are presented. A surface temperature difference of up to 25°C was found among green roofs with a dry growing medium or a saturated growing medium. Furthermore, the thermal inertia effects, which are usually simplified or neglected, are taken into account and shown to affect the temperature and flux results. This study highlights the importance of a coupled evapotranspiration process model for the accurate assessment of the passive cooling effect of green roofs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
