Optimisation of Embodied Carbon and Thermal Performance of Roof Material Selections for Australian Residential Housing by Yuqi Fu, Cynthia Changxin Wang

“…While mathematical programming is a well-established method in optimisation, a research gap has been observed in its application in optimising roof material selection under the simultaneous constraints of the R-value and volumetric heat capacity (thermal mass). Using a common conventional pitched roof with a timber frame, the study demonstrates how the model identifies material combinations that minimise the total embodied carbon within the specified thermal performance ranges. …”
