I heard from our director of sustainability to use R-5 for a typical
green roof. It was confirmed by few senior architects.

 

Thanks,

Howdy! 

 

Has anyone modeled a green roof? I have a standard roof with 12 inches
of soil and grass. I have been searching the web for thermal properties
such as U values, thermal absorptivity and so on. Are there any good
references to find these values or does anyone have tips to model a
green roof? I appreciate your help.
