How “green” are the green roofs? Lifecycle analysis of green roof materials

Building and Environment, 2012
Abstract Green roofs can be classified as intensive and extensive roofs based on their purpose and characteristics. Green roofs are built with different layers and variable thicknesses depending on the roof type and/or weather conditions. Basic layers, from bottom to top, of green roof systems usually consists of a root barrier, drainage, filter ...
