Abstract

This paper deals with the study of materials and its impact on safety and temperature in the buildings. The materials considered for this study are multi layers; natural fiber, metal foil, sheet metal, and thermoplastics. The properties of the materials considered are varied depending upon the usage. The idea behind the selection of the materials is to regulate the temperature of the buildings. In the current scenario of the world, population is facing more environmental issues like global warming, green house effect, pollution, ozone depletion, etc. Humans suffer more due to rise in temperature, so they feel better even inside the house. To avoid such climate disaster, roofing system will be helpful. By taking actions for materials changes, it leads to perfect roofing system and it will provide benefit to the living people. These issues can be overcome by replacing alternate existing roof systems. The binominal difference from older roof system over this roof system is much preferable for more protective shelter. Now, people prefer only the popular roofing system like asbestos sheet metals that are safe and preventive, but they are always harmful than other roof systems. This paper have also discussed one of the alternate roofing systems with multi layer. The main objective of this multi layer low conduction roof is to maintain room temperature (25 ^oC - 29 ^oC) at any weather condition and it can block incoming harmful solar radiation from sunlight. These multilayer roofs are also suitable for industrial and residential areas.
