1 Autralian Solar Cooling Interet Group (auscig) Conference 1 Timothy Anderon1,Mike Duke, and Jame Caron 1 School of Engineering, Auckland Univerity of Technology School of Engineering, Univerity of Waikato 1 Autralian Solar Cooling Interet Group (auscig) Conference 1 Demand for cooling can be more ignificant than for heating in Autralia Unglazed olar collector have often been ued a mean of providing low cot heating to wimming pool Under night condition when there i no olar radiation and the ky temperature i low, unglazed collector can radiate heat to the ky

2 Autralian Solar Cooling Interet Group (auscig) Conference 1 Unglazed collector are typically polymer tyle mat that are laid on top of a roof, often leading to poor aethetic due to their lack of integration Want to integrate into the building not onto the building Autralian Solar Cooling Interet Group (auscig) Conference 1 Long run metal roofing i widely ued for dometic, commercial and indutrial application Can be ued for low temperature pool heating through to dometic water heating High emiivity polyeter paint urface 4
