Under summer conditions in areas of the USSR having hot climates, overheating is observed in space enclosed by a single-layer pneumatic structure. The effectiveness of spraying with water and painting the pneumatic structure with a compound having good reflecting characteristics has been demonstrated theoretically and experimentally. A thermal-regime calculation method is proposed for pneumatic structures employing water spraying.
