<p>Increased urbanisation has led to a worsening in the quality of life for people large cities due increase indoor temperatures. Retrofitted green roofs may attenuate housing temperatures, isolation and passive cooling properties these vegetated systems. For this purpose, research reports on an experiment using roof modular system compare outdoor temperatures before, after, set up existing depot Rio de Janeiro, Brazil characterized by high most parts year. The comprised previously used pallets covered with geotextile planted succulent species low watering needs reduced maintenance processes. Compared environment, mostly warmer conditions were converted cooler its thermal properties, which provide insulation, evapotranspiration, shading presented potential heat exchange improve conditions.

Urban green roofs have emerged as an innovative nature-based solution for enhancing urban sustainability and resilience. Based on the Web of Science Core Collection database, scholarly papers published in past two decades were analyzed quantitatively visualized using bibliometric techniques. The study scope covered research countries, institutions, main journals, crucial authors, highly cited documents, hot topics, frontiers. 3210 publications mined from bibliographic database increased progressively period, with a significantly faster pace recent years. subjects changed gradually over time, extending into more disciplines becoming decidedly multidisciplinary. notable features registered pronounced spatial concentration outputs small number regions, researchers, mainly associated developed metropolises. citation impacts identified world’s top ten researchers journals. Well-defined clusters depicted by knowledge graphs indicated diverse range strength inter-node connections topics defined keywords. focuses quantifying benefits costs optimizing designs to maximize biodiversity, hydrologic, thermal, energy climate-adaptation solutions. Emerging should enhance biodiversity through optimal plant selection, integrate renewable systems sustainability, apply computational tools designs, evaluate low-cost locally relevant design options developing cities, quantify co-benefits like stormwater reduction savings. Multidisciplinary efforts leveraging simulations, ecosystem services valuation, participatory community partnerships can advance context-appropriate roof innovation evidence-based policymaking expand adoption cities worldwide. Quantifying communicating are critical measures drive wider implementation.

Two methods of irrigation, drip, and sprinkler were studied to determine the response Javits green roof irrigation. The control study was dry unirrigated plots. Drip irrigation consisted tubes running through that would water soil throughout used a system irrigate from above. In all cases, irrigated roofs had increased moisture, reduced temperatures both upper lower surfaces, growing medium air above relative roof. buffered temperature fluctuations also via conditioner energy consumption. There 28% reduction in consumption 33% overall between Values thermal resistance or S determined for accuracy this study, there little change which is ideal. A series infra-red probe measurements sedum. It did better job than drip keeping cooler within Mann-Whitney U test performed verify variation moisture buffering By getting p-value < 0.05, it indicates model accurate prediction statistically different.

The roof is the part of a building that exposed to solar radiation for longest period, making green roofs particularly effective in reducing air conditioning energy consumption during summer. This study aims assess advantages modular terms savings and cost reduction summer Xuzhou. By conducting field measurements surveys under both air-conditioned non-air-conditioned conditions utilizing simulation tools, performance with different parameters was compared. Using EnergyPlus, factors such as soil thickness, thermal conductivity, leaf area index were simulated. results indicated have superior summer, daily cooling load per unit top-floor rooms being 1.05 kWh/m2, 0.21 kWh/m2 lower than bare roofs, achieving an saving rate 16.7%.
