The Effect of Heat Dissipation by a Concrete Roof and Gypsum Ceiling on the Room Temperature Inside the House

The room temperature that suits the needs will create a comfortable working environment for the occupants. However, an increase in the temperature outside can increase the temperature in the room. Control of heat spread from outside to inside is needed to keep the room temperature stable and avoid significant temperature rises. This study aims to examine the heat dissipation due to the concrete roof and the presence of a gypsum ceiling, and its effect on the temperature of the room below. Methods are applied to this study by making observations to obtain research data. The results showed that heat dissipation by the concrete roof had reduced the indoor temperature to as low as 0.180 °C. The addition of gypsum ceiling under the concrete slab roof at 50 cm has reduced the room temperature by 1.79 °C from the temperature above the roof.
