Photovoltaic-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...
متن کاملVegetation development on extensive vegetated green roofs: Influence of substrate composition, establishment method and species mix
Technology for establishment of vegetated roofs (green roofs) has developed rapidly over recent years but knowledge about how these systems will develop over time is still limited. This study investigates vegetation development on unfertilised thin extensive vegetated roofs during a 3-year period. The vegetation systems investigated were designed to be low maintenance and had a saturated weight...
متن کاملGreen Roofs in the Tropics Conserve Energy
Background: Concrete buildings on Guam are exceptionally strong but also accumulate large amounts of heat. In the tropical environment of Guam, where 24 h average temperature ranges from 28 to 29oC year round, air conditioning is used every day and continuously. Concrete roofs are often painted light colors, which make them more reflective and accumulate less heat. They are also suitable for es...
