This study introduces the principle of an intelligent cooling and compares the life cycle costs of a concrete cooling roof, a metal cooling roof and the intelligent cooling roof. We conclude that the intelligent cooling roof is more cost effective than both the concrete cooling roof and the metal cooling roof. The intelligent cooling roof is friendly in installation and effective in producing cooling in summer without consuming any electricity, potentially it could be the next generation of roof for houses in Australia and many other countries.
