Un plaquage consiste à recouvrir un toit d’une couverture métallique, le plus souvent en zinc ou en cuivre. On peut voir ces toitures en peu partout et surtout dans les régions subissant de fortes précipitations de pluie ou de neige. 3, record 1, French, - couverture%20m%C3%A9tallique

Étant donnée la hauteur des plafonds, l'air chaud monte au-dessus de l'espace occupé, et de là est expulsé au besoin par la ventilation. L'espace laissé entre la couverture métallique et le toit en béton bien isolé qu'elle surmonte augmente l'efficacité de l'aération. La ventilation mécanique se limite aux pièces qui exigent ces installations d’appoint, notamment les cuisines et les laboratoires. 4, record 1, French, - couverture%20m%C3%A9tallique

Certain Teed Commercial Roofing may not accept phased application of roof system. However, when weather or field conditions prohibit total roofing system installation, the designer, general contractor, building owner and roofing contractor should consider the use of a temporary roof. Certain Teed Commercial Roofing reserves the right to accept or reject the use of temporary roof as a vapor retarder in the permanent system. Temporary roof must be a minimum of two plies of pre-coated base sheet. The type and number of plies shall depend on the length of time involved before the permanent system will be installed. 2, record 2, English, - temporary%20roof

Super insulated roofs have a thermal resistance rating of R-45 or greater and a vapor retarder on the warm side of the insulation. Generally these systems are not vented or are vented only enough to avoid creating a vapor trap in the attic or roof joist space. A super insulated roof greatly reduces, but does not stop heat escaping the building. In some places, super insulation without ventilation is enough to eliminate chronic icing at eaves. 2, record 3, English, - insulated%20roof

Les résultats de la défaillance de l'isolant sont beaucoup moins évidents que ceux de la défaillance de l'imperméabilisation. Néanmoins, la défaillance de l'isolant entraîne beaucoup plus de dépenses. Par exemple, si la valeur «U» d’un toit isolé est de 0. 067 Btu/h pi² F, la perte de chaleur totale annuelle par 100 pi² de surface est d’environ 1, 6M Btu(millions de British thermal units). 3, record 3, French, - toit%20isol%C3%A9

Solar distillation. ... A simple solar still utilizes the same principles that keep a greenhouse warm in winter. The sun's rays pass through a sloping glass cover .... The solar energy is absorbed by a black basin in the bottom of the still, with the result that the saline water (...) is heated. As the heated water evaporates, the vapor rises to the top of the still where it comes in contact with the cooler glass cover and condenses. The condensate -fresh water- trickles down the cover to a collecting trough. 2, record 5, English, - solar%20still

Il y a un siècle déjà, un distillateur solaire fonctionnait au Chili. Un bac peu profond, bien isolé du sol, avec un fond peint en noir, est rempli d’eau sur une faible épaisseur. Le tout est surmonté d’un toit de verre incliné. Dans cette sorte de serre chauffée par le soleil, la température de l'eau s’élève à 60 ou 70 ° C, et l'évaporation se produit. Le vitrage, plus froid que l'eau, provoque la condensation de la vapeur d’eau douce. Celle-ci s’écoule le long de la paroi interne du toit, jusqu'à une gouttière qui la récupère. 2, record 5, French, - distillateur%20solaire
