Thatch Roof Cooling

The book systematically builds its argument by first introducing the fundamentals of heat transfer and the properties of thatch. It progresses through case studies of traditional structures, delves into the science behind thatch's insulative capabilities using thermal imaging and heat flux measurements, and explores modern adaptations addressing fire resistance and durability. It highlights the potential benefits of widespread thatch adoption, including reduced carbon footprint and rural economic development, framing thatch as a sustainable material relevant to architectural design and passive cooling.
