Sensitivity analysis and weather condition effects on hygrothermal performance of green roof models characterized by recycled and artificial materials’ properties

This study conducted a sensitivity analysis and assessed the effects of long-term weather conditions on green roof models, including recycled artificial materials. Climate can affect hygrothermal performance materials, but this important issue has hardly been evaluated for drainage substrate layers made change makes it unclear how well roofs will perform hygrothermally. Moreover, heat flux to thickness physical characteristics with materials received less attention. applied three scenarios models materials: beginning, middle, end 21st century. As per results, at beginning middle century, layers' water content was roughly nine times more than layers'. At comparable difference 6.5 larger. During summer autumn, roofs’ thermal improved until The entire parameter demonstrated scatter conductivity, density, effectively influenced dispersion layers. Also, density effective in layer layer.
