The effectiveness of cool roof to reduce air-conditioner electric consumption in a test building located in Singapore is to be determined by simulations using EnergyPlus. A model for the simulations is developed in Google SketchUp and IDF Editor. Before the model is simulated, it is calibrated to de...
