Estimation of apparent thermal inertia of roofing materials from aerial thermal imagery by Emanuele Mandanici, Gabriele Lo Grasso, Maria A. Tini, Antonio Zanutta

“…Statistics on the buildings in the test areas are computed considering different classes of roofing materials (e.g. bituminous sheath, clay tiles, metal sheet, gravel tiles). Observed median ATI values for each class range from 0.03 to 0.09 K $$^{-1}$$ - 1 with interquartile ranges between 0.02 and 0.14 K $$^{-1}$$ - 1 , so the intra-class variability in some cases appears higher than the variability among different material classes, proving the importance of ATI mapping for UHI investigations.…”
