Vitruvio: International Journal of Architectural Technology and Sustainability, 2022 The COVID-19 pandemic showed us how fragile cities are when dealing with this phenomenon. The lack of green areas, high pollution levels, and human overpopulation contributed to the increase of the urban heat island effect and proved to be the perfect ...

Risk Management in Procurement of Blue-Green Roofs – A Project Owner Perspective [PDF]
Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, 2019 Blue-green roofs are vegetated roofs used for stormwater management purposes. With the roof serving several different purposes at the same time, the risk that any of its functions could be compromised needs to be addressed. Risks related to roof defects may present a threat to the long-term operation of a building, and could lead to waste by making ...

Impact of design variables on hydrologic and thermal performance of green, blue-green and blue roofs
Blue-Green Systems, 2022 Abstract Blue-green and blue roofs are increasingly promoted to adapt to climate change by providing multiple benefits. However, uncertainties about their design and how they differ from conventional green roofs hinder their implementation.

Technical and engineering issues in green roof retrofit
, 2016 Retrofitting the existing stock of buildings is imperative, as only 1-2% is added annually to the total stock of buildings, and around 87% of the buildings that we will have by 2050 are already built (Kelly, 2009).

Friend, Not Foe: Lowered Tissue Reactivity to Long‐Term Polyimide Implants
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The choice of optimal neural probe designs remains a major challenge in the field of neurotechnology. This study investigated the biocompatibility of several probe variations, including material, thickness, width, and implantation strategy. It highlights the clear advantage of soft polyimide probes over stiff silicon probes for better device ...
