Introduction
Green roofs have become increasingly popular in recent years as a sustainable building solution that offers a range of environmental benefits, including improved energy efficiency, stormwater management, and urban heat island mitigation. One key aspect of green roof performance that has received significant attention is their thermal performance. Green roofs have the potential to reduce heat transfer through buildings, leading to energy savings and improved indoor comfort. However, there is still a need for comprehensive assessment of green roof thermal performance to better understand their effectiveness in different climates and building types.
This project aims to assess the thermal performance of green roofs in a specific context, focusing on how different design variables and environmental factors impact their effectiveness. By conducting a detailed study of green roof thermal performance, this project seeks to provide valuable insights for building designers, policymakers, and other stakeholders interested in promoting sustainable building practices.
