Green roof energy performance in different climate zones: a simulation study (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kulumkanov, N., Nadeem, A., & Tokbolat, S. (2023). Green roof energy performance in different climate zones: a simulation study. Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2600(9), Article 092027. https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/2600/9/092027

Green roofs are widely used as a passive building design technique to decrease the cooling demand in buildings. The vegetation uses the energy of the surroundings during the evapotranspiration process, leading to a temperature decrease in air. This p...
