Effects of green roof on the wind field of a low-rise building
A three dimensional numerical wind tunnel based on the Navier-Stokes equations for viscous, incompressible fluid and LES method is established. Incoming wind field is generated based on the AIJ guidelines (2004). The numerical wind tunnel is validated against experimental results. A low-rise building with green roof is tested in the numerical wind tunnel. The results show that the green roof re...
متن کاملQuantifying Evapotranspiration from a Green Roof Analytically
Green roofs are a common stormwater control measure used to help mitigate increased stormwater runoff caused by urbanization. Green roofs can retain upwards of 90% of rain given the appropriate conditions. Green roof design parameters, such as substrate composition and depth and plant type, affect the retention capabilities of green roofs by storing and allowing greater extraction of water by p...
متن کاملTowards Green Building: Sustainability Approach in Building Industrialization
Building construction challenge, in recent years, is the reduction of social, economical and environmentalimpacts along with economical nature and increasing life quality, as here sustainable construction is important. Pre-fabrication and industrialization are referred as a solution of sustainable construction due to some of its main characteristics consisting of many sustainability aspects. Du...
متن کاملTemperature Control & Comfort Level of Elementary School Building with Green Roof in New Taipei City, Taiwan
To mitigate the urban heat island effect has become a global issue when we are faced with the challenge of climate change. Through literature review, plant photosynthesis can reduce the carbon dioxide and mitigate the urban heat island effect to a degree. Because there are not enough open space and parks, green roof has become an important policy in Taiwan. We selected elementary school buildin...
متن کاملA generic hydrological model for a green roof drainage layer.
A rainfall simulator of length 5 m and width 1 m was used to supply constant intensity and largely spatially uniform water inflow events to 100 different configurations of commercially available green roof drainage layer and protection mat. The runoff from each inflow event was collected and sampled at one-second intervals. Time-series runoff responses were subsequently produced for each of the...
