Study of Heat Transfer in Energy Efficient Green Roofing

Abstract

One of the actual directions of green construction is green roof building. They have many advantages, the most important are: decrease of storm drain load, saving of drinking water, additional heat insulation, cooling effect by plants transpiration, sound insulation, moderating of «urban heat islands», saving of flora and fauna. In Ukraine, because of fuel and energy crisis, the researches of heat transfer in the green roofs are actual. For the first time, the influence of wind speed on thermal processes of a plant layer of the green roof is studied. First, the researches of heat transfer in the plant layer of the green roof at different wind speed in a wind tunnel are performed. The non-uniformed distribution of the heat transfer dependent on random factors is shown. The wind speed gains the «cooling effect» of the green roof because of the transpiration intensification
