| Abstract | Cool roofs, as feasible and efficient passive solar technique that reduces building energy requirements for cooling and improves indoor thermal comfort conditions, have received considerable attention in recent years and as a result, a number of concepts, methods, and experiences have been developed during the related research. Although some studies have been conducted on this subject in the form of review articles, taking into consideration the large number of publications, there is still a call for some review papers dealing with the potential of cool roofs and providing a thorough report on their energy performance and a detailed summary of their pros and cons on the basis of the relevant studies. On this account, the present review paper, as a qualitative documentary study, aimed at providing an insightful elaboration of general characteristics, operating mechanism, influencing factors on thermal performance, various types and configurations of cool roofs, as well as a thorough report on their energy efficiency. In addition, detailed summary of advantages and drawbacks of this passive solar measure has been developed, as itemized factors corresponded to the codified references. To do so, taking Scopus and Science Direct as two of the key databases in this field, the required data has been collected with a focus on the most relevant publications in the last two decades. The authors believe that this type of review paper could set stage for further development of cool roof technology and also make it possible to rethink how passive solar design can be effectively implemented |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
