Cities face the consequences of climate change, specifically the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which detrimentally affects human health. In this regard, deploying PV modules in urban locales prompts inquiry into the impact of energy-active building com...

Reflective roof membranes have been shown to lower air conditioning costs by reducing the influx of thermal energy through a roof assembly and into the building. However, there have been studies suggesting that reflective roofs in cold climates give rise...
