Title : Thermal performance of tiles roof based on recycled waste. Introduction to the national housing labeling program (PRONEV) in Argentina.
Abstract:
Currently, the amount of waste generated has a negative impact on the environment. The increased use of sustainable materials in the construction industry is due to a strong social awareness of environmental protection. This implies the development of methodologies that allow for alternative final disposal of waste. This research presents the construction component (roof tile) developed by the Experimental Center for Affordable Housing (CEVE) in collaboration with the CINTEMAC Institute (Center for Research, Development, and Transfer in Materials and Quality), part of the National Technological University, Regional Faculty of Córdoba. This component is applied to pitched roofs on a wooden structure. It is manufactured entirely from recycled materials derived from two types of industrial waste: plastics and end-of-life tires (ELTs). This roof tile is more resistant to bending, frost, and hail than traditional roof tiles, such as ceramic or concrete tiles, and is also lighter.Energy efficiency consists of achieving lower energy consumption for the same performance. Optical and thermal characteristics determine the thermal performance of materials. This paper presents the thermal conductivity and transmittance parameters, as well as some aspects of the optothermal properties (surface temperature, solar reflectance index, albedo, and thermal emissivity) of roofing tiles.
