The effects of different materials of green roofing on the quantity and quality of stored and drainage water by using simulated rainfall setup [PDF]
Advances in Environmental Technology, 2021 One of the methods to control the rain on the spot and reuse it is the green roof. This method uses a multi-layer system of vegetation on the roof and balcony of a building to absorb part of the rainwater; the volume and peak runoff are also reduced by ...

Increasing thermal protection with use of green roof
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 The use of green roof is a great choice in case of climate change mitigation and reduction of urban heat islands. Positive aspects of green roofs during winter or the whole year round balance are often overlooked.

Modeling Košice Green Roofs Maps [PDF]
Selected Scientific Papers - Journal of Civil Engineering, 2017 Abstract The need to house population in urban areas is expected to rise to 66% in 2050, according to United Nations. The replacement of natural permeable green areas with concrete constructions and hard surfaces will be noticed. The densification of existing built-up areas is responsible for the decreasing vegetation, which results in ...

The potential of coconut waste as green roof materials to improve stormwater runoff
Water Science and Technology, 2023 Urbanization is one of the leading causes of urban flooding as rapid development produces more impervious areas in cities. The application of green roofs is regarded as an effective technology to minimize the adverse effects of urban development.
