Throughout the course of civilization, there has been a significant shift in people's attitudes. The alteration in behavior is evident as individuals have actively contributed to the destruction of vegetative cover, initiated numerous industries, established housing units, and introduced various machines, among other developments. However, some of these innovations have negative repercussions on the environment. The emissions produced by machines and other equipment contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, a crucial shield safeguarding humans, plants, animals, and other organisms from the harmful radiations of the sun. Nowadays there is a tremendous increase in the growth of various industries. Along with the development of industries, the heat of the sun reaching the ground also increased. This increase in the sun's radiation directly increases the heat on the all the structures. Most of the dwelling units suc h as flats, apartments, residential housing units etc. are made of concrete structures. Hence people may find difficulties of heat in their dwelling units. The needs of the people are increasing a lot resulting in providing more facilities and better living conditions. Many new concrete buildings are arising in the world day by day. Around 70% of total population is using concrete buildings in their day to day activities for fulfilling their various needs. Individuals rely on concrete structures for various purposes such as residential, commercial, and industrial use. Those residing in hot regions encounter significant challenges due to the thermal characteristics of concrete buildings. These structures absorb heat throughout the day and release it in the evening and night. Upon returning home after a day of strenuous activities, many people find it challenging to cope with the intense heat trapped in their residential units during the hot season. Therefore, a project has been initiated with the objective of addressing the theme "Mitigating Thermal Impact within Concrete Roof Structures for an Improved Indoor Environment," aiming to create a more comfortable atmosphere within these structures.
