TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Influence of the vent location on thermal cooling under thatched roof homes in Antananarivo, Madagascar JO - Afrique science: revue internationale des sciences et technologie A1 - Robelison, S. A1 - Lips, B. SP - EP - VL - 4 IS - 3 N2 - A technique for thermal cooling attic of a house in Antananarivo (Madagascar) was studied during the hot and humid. Attic ventilation or roof insulation sheet has been considered. The air temperature in the attic was determined by taking 24 hours of the day January 21 for each of these two techniques. Maximum, a decrease of 2.5 ° C for ventilation and a decrease in temperature from 16 ° C to insulation stubble were obtained. This is the roof insulation sheet by an insulator which is the best technique for cooling. Keywords: House, ventilation, insulation, cooling, Madagascar.
