Özet
Metal roofing is widely used for its durability, fire resistance, structural efficiency, and resilience. Historically adopted for fire safety (and reduced lightning risk when grounded), metal roofs remain valued today for long spans, low-slope applications, and performance against extreme weather. As the global construction industry intensifies efforts to reduce carbon emissions, evaluating the environmental performance of metal roofing systems and optimizing their design for sustainability is critical. This study investigates the thermal and acoustic performance of metal roofs as part of a broader life-cycle assessment (LCA). It evaluates metal roofing systems across three distinct climatic regions: Florida (USA), Kayseri (Türkiye), and Rivers State (Nigeria) during the summer, and applies a four-stage workflow comprising field measurements, life-cycle assessment, acoustic evaluation, and thermal discomfort assessment. Key parameters include interior and exterior surface temperatures, indoor air temperature, sound attenuation, and relative humidity. Tools include OpenLCA and SimaPro for environmental modeling, FLIR cameras and TESTO thermometers for thermal measurements, an Extech sound level meter, and CypeSound software. Results indicate strong regional variability: Florida and Kayseri exhibit pronounced surface overheating, whereas Rivers State shows smaller surface-air temperature differences but higher humidity-related durability risks. By integrating empirical data with analytical tools, this research supports the development of optimized, low-impact, resilient roofing systems.
