A literature review on the improvement strategies of passive design for the roofing system of the modern house in a hot and humid climate region

Increase of indoor temperature compared with outdoor temperature is a major concern in modern house design.Occupants suffer from this uncomfortable condition because of overheating indoor temperature.Poor passive design causes heat to be trapped, which influences the rise in indoor temperature.The u...
