Simulations were carried out on a typical residential building by using the simulation Toolkit DeST-h. Results show that reducing solar absorption coefficient leads to a great reduction in building energy consumption and thus light-colored materials are suitable.}, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {4}, year = {2011}, pages = {208 - 210}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7281}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/52}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 52, 2011}, }
