Add to ORKGThere has been an increasing demand to create new passive building cooling methods to tackle the global issues of urban heat island (UHI) effects which many developed nations are currently experiencing. Recent research has proven that coating a building with high solar reflective coatings is one of the feasible methods for passive cooling. In this study, the effectiveness of solar reflective coatings on the heat transfer into buildings and the micro-climatic effects it generate will be discussed based on in a tropical climate like Singapore. This study was conducted using building energy software named Integrated Virtual Environment (IES). Feasibility studies of using the software was validated by comparing the simulations results against ...
