Comfort conditions in the Skytherm type roof pond residences are simulated. The residence is vented when the ambient air is cooler than interior air and interior air is circulated otherwise. Hourly distributions of comfort conditions are calculated using Fanger's PMV index. Wet and dry roof residences are simulated in four cites for both typical and extremely hot July periods. Wet roof comfort conditions are acceptable even during an extremely hot summer if convective coupling to the ceiling is enhanced by air motion.
