An assembly for shielding the concrete surface of a concrete building from solar radiation, which comprises;
- a plurality of heat reflective, heat insulative, panels suspended in a position between the source of solar radiation and the surface of the concrete structure, the surface of said panel proximate to the concrete structure being non-planar;
- and
- means attached to said panels for suspending them;
- said panels being fixedly spaced from each other and the concrete surface so as to define first open spaces between and second open spaces beneath the panels, said open spaces being in open communication with the atmosphere whereby air may freely circulate in and out of the open spaces which are unchanging in dimension.
An assembly for shielding the concrete surface of a concrete building from solar radiation, which comprises;
- a plurality of heat reflective, heat insulative, panels suspended in a position between the source of solar radiation and the surface of the concrete building, the surface of said panel proximal to the concrete building being non-planar;
- and
- means attached to said panels for suspending them;
- said panels being spaced from each other and the concrete surface so as to define first open spaces between and second open spaces beneath the panels, said open spaces being in open communication with the atmosphere whereby air may freely circulate in and out of the open spaces, the spacing of the panels from the concrete surface being within the range of from about 1.5 to 10 inches.
An assembly for shielding the concrete surface of a concrete building from solar radiation, which comprises;
- a plurality of heat reflective, heat insulative, panels suspended in a position between the source of solar radiation and the surface of the concrete building, the surface of said panel proximal to the concrete building being non-planar;
- and
- means attached to said panels for suspending them;
- said panels being spaced from each other and the concrete surface so as to define first open spaces between and second open spaces beneath the panels, said open spaces being in open communication with the atmosphere whereby air may freely circulate in and out of the open spaces, said panels being spaced from each other so as to create first open spaces having an area within the range of 10 to 20 percent of the surface area of the concrete surface to be shielded.
An assembly for shielding the concrete surface of a concrete building from solar radiation, which comprises;
- a plurality of heat reflective, heat insulative, panels suspended in a position between the source of solar radiation and the surface of the concrete building, the surface of said panel proximal to the concrete building being non-planar;
- and
- a bar extending longitudinally across the top of the panel, said bar being supported from the concrete surface by a leg and the panels being supported from the bar by a wire;
- said panels being spaced from each other and the concrete surface so as to define first open spaces between and second open spaces beneath the panels, said open spaces being in open communication with the atmosphere whereby air may freely circulate in and out of the open spaces.
