Performance evaluation of green roofs in urban runoff reduction
Urbanism directly affects the hydrological cycle. One of the ways to manage runoffs in urban areas that is considered nowadays is green roof creation. Green roof is mainly created in humid and semi-humid areas, and efficiency of green roofs in arid and semi-arid areas has attracted less attention. In the current study, to evaluate the effect of green roof in arid and semi-arid to reduce runoff,...
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 کاملPhotovoltaic-green roofs: An experimental evaluation of system performance
The research focused on the experimental evaluation of Photovoltaic (PV) – green roofs under Mediterranean climate summer conditions. Two autochthonous plants, Gazania rigens and Sedum clavatum, were selected for the PV-green systems while a PV-gravel configuration was used as the reference roof. The above mentioned roofing systems were developed and tested at the University of Lleida, in Spain...
متن کاملCost-Effectiveness of Green Roofs
Life-cycle assessment was used to evaluate the widespread installation of green roofs in a typical urban mixed-use neighborhood. Market prices of materials, construction, energy conservation, storm-water management, and greenhouse gas GHG emission reductions were used to evaluate private and social costs and benefits. Results suggest green roofs are currently not cost effective on a private cos...
