Heat flow characteristics through low-slope metal deck roofs / Rosazman Ismail

Building material generally refers to those building components that enclose conditioned spaces and through which thermal energy is transferred to or from the outdoor environment. In buildings, energy efficiency means using less energy for heating, cooling, and lighting. It also means buying energy-...
