Abstract
The energy savings benefits of recovering the roof of an existing federal office building with a sprayed polyurethane foam system are documented. The building is being used as a test bed to document the benefits of a number of energy-efficient improvements. As such, it was instrumented to measure the half-hourly energy consumption of the whole building and of the individual rooftop air conditioners, the roof heat fluxes, and the interior air and roof temperatures. These data were used to evaluate the energy effectiveness of the roof re-covering action.
