Thermal comfort and energy saving was achieved using green roofs in this research and it could be well used in a large scale for growing cities and population energy...

in metropolitan areas. Increasing

imperviousness leads to removal of native vegetation in urban areas. It also leads to increased

runoff volumes and peak flows which put more pressure on urban drainage systems. Green roofs, as

Green roofs are an increasingly important component of water sensitive urban design systems and can potentially improve the quality of urban runoff.However, there is evidence that they can occasionally act as a source rather than a sink...

Growing media (substrate) is a fundamental part of a green roof, providing water, nutrients and support

to plants. However, little research has reviewed how it affects plant performances in different climatic

regions. This study aims...
