Transcribed Image Text:Calculate the overall transmittance for the roof shown below, does
this roof meet Bahrain's regulations, 0.3 W/m².0? What can be
done to enhance the performance of this roof?
Concrete layer 50 mm. Thick.
Polyurethane 35 mm. thick
Hollow core slab 150 mm. thick.
k=1.45 W/m. C
k=0.024 W/ m."C
= 1.25W/m:0
