Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a low-cost solution for cooling houses, especially for buildings with flat roofs. The invention uses tiles with perforations that allow for better ventilation and cooling. The tiles also help insulate the building during hot periods, reducing energy needs. The invention also includes risers that can be used to create elevated spaces on the roof, allowing for better air movement and cooling. The tiles and risers can be made from plastics, making them lightweight and easy to install. Overall, the invention provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for cooling buildings.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, it is more energy consuming to cool the interior of houses than it is to heat the same house.

Embodiment Construction

[0007]In this connection the invention provides a cooling roof construction comprising a substantially horizontal roof having a weatherproof membrane, and where a perforated tile layer is arranged a distance above said membrane, where the space between the membrane and the perforated tile layer is connected by at least one conduit to an outside ambient space outside the roof's perimeter or above the tile layer.

[0008]Be creating a perforated tile area arranged a distance above the roof construction as such a space between the roof construction and the perforated tiles is created. The air inside this space will be heated by the solar influx, i.e. solar energy and due to the basic principles of hot air rising relative to cooler air the air in the space will move upwards, i.e. away from the roof surface through the perforations in the tiles. During this movement an under-pressure will occur between the perforated tiles and the roof surface which will cause fresh air to be sucked into th...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of Danish Patent Application No. PA 2013 70274 filed on May 22, 2013, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002]The present invention relates to a cooling roof construction as well as a method of cooling buildings utilizing such a roof construction.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]With the increasing focus on energy consumption there is a desire to lower the energy consumption and thereby the cost of energy in connection with among other things buildings, living quarters, etc.[0004]For houses the object is to maintain an interior climate which is neither too cold nor too hot and as such during winter periods it is necessary to heat the houses and during summer periods it is desirable to cool the houses. In a number of regions the costs of cooling houses exceed by far the costs of heating houses. Furthermore, it is more energy consuming to cool the inte...
