As the world grapples with the effects of climate change, there is an urgent need for sustainable solutions to help reduce carbon emissions. Historic urban centres can indicate one possible way forward, and this is because of the way traditional buildings (in this paper centring on the Mediterranean) are built. Their materials and technologies are...
'Cool roofs' and 'evaporative roofs' are modern construction technologies based in part on the known behaviour of 'traditional flat roofs' in the Mediterranean. This paper describes an innovative study of the behaviour of Mediterranean roofs, employing high resolution satellite data, UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) multispectral technology (visible,...
The behaviour of traditional roofs affects issues relating to sustainability, zero-carbon targets, and Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This paper discusses an innovative approach towards understanding the behaviour of porous, and other types, of roofs in Malta in relation to temperature and moisture characteristics, and to project this behaviour on...
