Primitive evaporative cooling with wet materials

I'm modeling a school in Nepal with OpenStudio and the sketchup Plugin. I would like to run a simulation with a wet false ceiling that could work as a primitive way for evaporative cooling. (to reduce heat in class. now there is only a tin roof) Is there a way to add that characteristic to a material or does anyone has an idea on how to simulate this kind of problem? Thanks!
