Green Roof as a Sustainable and Energy Efficient Construction Tool
Address to the search for the necessary sustainability in today’s societies, cities and architecture become the appropriate environment in which to look for a balance between socio-economic growth and caring for the environment. The green roofs, as part of this sustainable architecture, allow, thanks to their construction and their particularities, to obtain a series of environmental, energy and thermal benefits. The magnitude of the energy improvement is influenced by several factors, among which the state of the envelope of the building in which it is installed stands out. In the field of refurbishment, where a large part of the buildings to be refurbished have little or no insulation in the envelope, the contribution of the green roofs to energy saving and the improvement of interior thermal comfort is of great relevance, being able to reach energy savings in cooling of 49%, while in already insulated structures this value drops to 6%. The different types of green roofs must be studied, therefore, considering, not only the benefits that can be achieved, but also characteristics such as weight and cost depending on the field of application.
