Green Roof

ABSTRACT This article makes remarks about the conjugation of the green roof with the rainwater harvesting system for non-potable uses. For this purpose, starts from the hypothesis that a good practice adoption should considered another one, in other words, the countless benefits from green roof adoption should incorporate the ones from the rainwater harvesting system. Nevertheless, some additional cares must be taken on green roofs design as catchment unit to rainwater harvesting,…

quais a humanidade passa atualmente. O uso desta solução, é cada vez mais incentivada devido ao aumento da conscientização populacional referente aos cuidados com o meio ambiente. Isto se reflete no aumento de construções sustentáveis - segundo o Green Building Council Brasil (GBC), o Brasil já ocupa o quarto lugar no ranking das construções sustentáveis certificadas. Em conseqüência disso, as construtoras começaram a desenvolver métodos que atendessem a estes aspectos de…

Matos Barreto due to its proximity to the landfill of Lake Igapó. Thus a study that considers the possibilities of how the green roof can contribute to the absorption of rainwater and thus reduce the level of flooding was developed. Thus, this paper aims to present the benefits and limitations of green roof for the absorption of rainwater in urban areas. Keywords: green roof, stormwater, urban drainage, flooding and rainwater absorption. O adensamento populacional sem o planejamento…

environmental problems . The study thermal and hydric green roof, aims to determine the benefits of this through a prototype small-scale tests for effecting statements . The thermal testing showed that the structure decreases with green layer a sunny day (30,4°C) decreases by 6,9° C while the joint structure increases 1° C , because water tests , it was found that with the roof layer vegetable speed is reduced to 72 % compared to common roof . Ie the green roof is of great benefit to…

ABSTRACT The green areas in urban centers are on the wane. The use of green roof may help this way and bring many benefits to the city and its residents. It provides thermal and acoustic comfort, improves humidity, helps to combat the effect of heat islands, besides aesthetics. It also collaborates with urban drainage, because it minimizes the peak flow that occurs during the rain, as the water is retained on the green cover in order to slow its flow. This study provides the…
