RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Green Roof
I agree with Ned. This capability is already on a list of possible enhancements to EnergyPlus. If anyone has developed or identified models for live green roofs that might be suitable for annual building simulations, please let me know.

I am not sure that you will get very accurate results using E+ to model a "live" green roof. The problem is that the dynamics of soil and vegetation can't be input into the model. There is no mechanism to incorporate soil cooling from rain or plant heat loss through evaporation. The best E+ could model would be the mass effects...

I'm developing a study based on green roof and want to know if anybody have
experience in this kind of simulation. I've noted that I will have to work with
MTF or EMPD Solution Algorithm, instead CTF (that I always used). In fact, I
have to consider the "alive" covering, that will have mass and heat transfer,
but don't know how to find data that describes the ground layer and the grass
covering. Grateful since already...
