Abstract :
[en] This study analyses the sensitivity of green roof drainage and substrate layers’ thermal resistance to artificial and recycled materials’ physical properties, and layers’ thickness. The hygrothermal characteristics of green roof materials and layers play a fundamental role in the thermal performance of green roof systems. The focus of this study is therefore to determine how much the variation of water content, density, thermal conductivity and thickness of substrate and drainage layers (independent variable) may influence the heat flux dispersion (dependent variable).
