Green Roof Abstract

This review paper includes the history of the green roof green roof components and multiple benefits environmental social and economical associated with the green roof technology.

Green roof abstract.

Abstract research on the green roof has been raised expeditiously over the past decade. Green roofs are increasingly used as a sustainable urban drainage system due to their positive impact on the storm water management. Abstract green roof can mitigate urban stormwater and improve environmental economic and social conditions. Green roofs are becoming an increasingly popular way to improve the environmental economic and aesthetic performance of both new and existing buildings.

Various modeling approaches have been effectively employed to implement a green roof but previous models employed simplifications to simulate water movement in green roof systems. Green roof have been proposed as the sustainable practice to mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization. And create healthier urban environments providing traditional roof services and. Other benefits and impacts are not yet.

The mitigation consists in reducing the total outflow volume while delaying the initial time of runoff and distributing the outflow over a longer time period. The layers of a contemporary green roof system from. School of civil engineering purdue university west lafayette indiana. A green roof is a green space created by adding layers of growing medium and plants on top of a traditional roofing system.

Green infrastructure uses vegetation soils and natural processes to manage water. Well designed engineered and maintained green roofs provide multiple environmental social economic and aesthetic benefits. This should not be confused with the traditional roof garden where planting is done in freestanding containers and planters located on an accessible roof terrace or deck. Research on the green roof has been raised expeditiously over the past decade.

Fully understood or valued. Abstract green roofs have considerable potential for stormwater source control both for new developments and as a retrofit option. A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium planted over a waterproofing membrane. Green roof have been proposed as the sustainable practice to mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization.

Green roofs also known as vegetated roofs or living roofs are ballasted roofs consisting of a waterproofing membrane growing medium soil and vegetation plants overlying a traditional roof.
