[Bldg-sim] temperature in green roofs

[Keith Swartz]

Leen,

A study of roof temperatures on a building in Michigan can be found at http://www.sustainablefacility.com/articles/testing-at-the-top.

A Canadian study has some roof temperature data in http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/obj/irc/doc/pubs/nrcc46412/nrcc46412.pdf .

The best information I have seen regarding simulating vegetated roofs is from a presentation from the ASHRAE Energy Modeling Conference last April. The presentation is attached.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] temperature in green roofs

Hi there,

is there anyone who knows about a tool or validation data to simulate or estimate the effect of the temperature and RH on a green roof and what the impact is of the temperature at the bottom-site of the green roof system?

Thanks already!

Leen
