Analysis of Heat Mitigation Potential of Coir Mat and Perlite Layers vs Green Roof SystemsBy Sigi Kumar T.S., Shafi K.A., Rijo Jacob Thomas
Abstract: This study explores the heat mitigation potential of coir mats and green facades applied to roofs. Being situated near the equator, buildings are subjected to intense solar radiation due to the sun’s proximity and minimal declination angle. Consequently, roofs transfer a substantial amount of heat into indoor spaces, making effective thermal regulation strategies essential. Roof insulation emerges as a key method for managing indoor temperatures, with sustainable, locally sourced, climate-friendly, …
