Along with the strong movement towards sustainable urban environments, there is an increasing use of green roof systems, including the semi-extensive green roofs, which are composed of lightweight layers of freedraining material that support low-growing, tough, and drought-resistant vegetation. Various kinds of green roof systems are also used at street levels, on the top of underground car par...

The global development of the world has an adverse affect on the natural environment, such as global warming, is continuing to mount.

Office of street lighting and Cemetery Palembang is one agency that regulates the green open spaces but not using media such as websites that support the community to get information ...

Photovoltaic (PV) panels get hot in the sun. This decreases the operating efficiency through various means. Several approaches have been proven effective at cooling panels. Green Roofs are thermally cool, outperforming even white roofs over their life. On a hot summer day, a green roof can be 30◦C cooler than a typical roof, potentially improving the efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) panel by a...
