In Taiwan, light-gauge steel-framed (LGS) buildings are employed for a multitude of purposes; for instance, large light gauge steel buildings are used to house factories and workshops and small light gauge steel buildings are used as pre-fabricated housing units or restructured cargo containers. Thermal insulation is provided through reflection, isolation, and heat dispersion. However, after a long period of use and lack of repair & maintenance, the heat insulation layer gradually loses its initial heat insulation efficiency and the crude roofing insulation of these structures results in overheated interiors. This paper aims to find the best method for ensuring the outer roof heat insulation efficiency for the light gauge steel buildings, thereby maintaining comfortable indoor thermal environment. Experiment findings revealed that the efficiency of the outer roof heat insulation applied on the small light gauge steel buildings is better and more capable of reducing direct penetration of heat into the interior. Moreover, the white insulation paint has a significant time lag effect of two hours at a smaller level of heat flux, thus effectively reducing penetration of heat into the interior. |
