  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents an experimental study aimed at reducing heat infiltration through roof structures utilizing rice husk and white tiles insulation. With rising concerns over energy consumption and environmental sustainability, effective thermal insulation methods are imperative. Rice husk, an abundant agricultural byproduct, and white tiles, a commonly used roofing material, offer promising potential as eco-friendly and cost-effective insulation solutions. This research investigates the thermal performance of roof structures incorporating rice husk and white tiles insulation through experimentation and subsequently develops a simulation model for predicting heat infiltration. The results demonstrate significant reductions in heat transfer, validating the efficacy of the proposed insulation strategy. The developed simulation model provides a valuable tool for assessing and optimizing the thermal performance of roof structures, contributing to energy efficiency and sustainable building practices.
