The Application and Development of Energy-Saving Paint on Roof Steel Plates

Since Framework Convention on Climate Change made in the Earth Summit of 1992 and Kyoto Protocol in 1997, every country has been trying to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and develop energy-regeneration. For the past decades, Taiwan industries have adopted high-consuming and high-polluted structure deigns of architecture, which increases the total cost of industries and leads to serious greenhouse effect. These have caused several negative impacts on practicing the policy of energy saving in Taiwan.

Therefore, this study focuses on developing energy-saving paint used on colored roof plates and long-term usage of paint materials through several experiments. After analyzing the test results, this paper has proved that the new developed paint has upgraded the heat resistance of roof plates, which not only saves more electricity but also eases the impact of Kyoto Protocol on Taiwan industries. Most importantly, this new product meets consumers' demand in long-term development of natural environment. (paper)
