标题：A Study on the Influence of the Next Generation Colored Inorganic Geopolymer Material Paint on the Insulation Measurement of Concrete Building Shell
摘要：Many studies have shown that paint with reflective heat can effectively reduce the temperature of the building envelope and reduce the future energy consumption of the building. This study inspired the next-generation inorganic geopolymer material (IGM) color paint without volatile matter, which could be applied on concrete surfaces to reduce energy consumption in warm seasons. In this study, a total of five insulating IGM paints, white, red, green, blue, and yellow, were applied to a 50 cm × 50 cm × 12 cm concrete slab top surface. The highest average light reflectance of all the paints was 87.5% of white IGM paint, which was higher than plain concrete (36.4%). The heat flux and surface temperature were examined in the laboratory, and those test results were verified outdoor. The results showed that the IGM paints could effectively reduce the surface temperature and heat flux of the upper and lower surfaces of concrete slabs, and the white colored IGM paint was the best performer among all five colors, whereas the heat storage coefficient (Sf) of red, white, yellow, blue, and green IGM painted concrete slabs were 0.57, 0.53, 3.62, 2.95, and 1.91 W·m−2·K−1, respectively, lower than plain concrete (24.40 W·m−2·K−1). This coefficient was presented to externalize the thermal admittance. The overall measurement results showed that the concrete slab with colored IGM paints had better heat insulation ability than the plain concrete slab, especially in white IGM paint.
