Energy savings in buildings or UHI mitigation? Comparison between green roofs and cool roofs
The intensification of the Urban Heat Island effect (UHI) is a problem that involves several fields, and new adequate solutions are required to mitigate its amplitude. The construction sector is strictly related with this phenomenon; in particular, roofs are the envelope components subject to the highest solar irradiance, hence any mitigation strategy should start from them and involve their ap...
متن کاملThermal Performance of Extensive Green Roofs in Cold Climates
Green roof is a specialized roofing system that supports vegetation growth on rooftops. This technology is rapidly gaining popularity in North America as a sustainable design option. Green roofs offer multiple benefits to urban areas such as reduction of heating/cooling needs for the building, urban heat island and stormwater runoff for the region. In this study, the performance of two extensiv...
متن کاملNumerical analysis of natural convection in shed roofs with eave of buildings for cold climates
A numerical study has been carried out on partially heated triangular enclosures with eave. The eave and inclined wall has a cold temperature. The laminar, two-dimensional, steady governing equations of natural convection are solved in the streamfunction-vorticity form using a finite difference technique. Streamline, isotherm andNusselt number are presented for different parameters such as aspe...
متن کاملThermal assessment of extensive green roofs as passive tool for energy savings in buildings
Sustainability trends for buildings require new construction systems to foster energy efficiency and environmentally friendly buildings. Green roofs are interesting construction systems because they provide both aesthetic and environmental benefits. This paper continues a long-term research in order to evaluate and improve the thermal behaviour and sustainability of extensive green roofs. Simul...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of cool and green roofs as urban heat island mitigation strategies
Mitigation of the urban heat island (UHI) effect at the city-scale is investigated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in conjunction with the Princeton Urban Canopy Model (PUCM). Specifically, the cooling impacts of green roof and cool (white/highalbedo) roof strategies over the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area during a heat wave period (7 June–10 June 2008) are assess...
