The summer thermal behaviour of “skin” materials for vertical surfaces in Athens, Greece as a decisive parameter for their selection
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal behavior of the materials used on the vertical surfaces of Greek cities is analyzed based on surface temperatures measurements, which were carried out both in situ in various buildings of Athens, Greece and experimentally on samples of building materials exposed to solar radiation on a building's flat roof.
