Coarse recycled materials for the drainage and substrate layers of green roof system in dry condition: parametric study and thermal heat transfer ; Belgium

peer reviewed ; The replacement of natural materials with recycled materials for green roof systems with drainage and substrate layers has scarcely been evaluated while it can be considered as a potential solution to reduce the overuse of natural resources. Moreover, optimizing green roof layers’ thickness and evaluating the thermal resistance of drainage and substrate layers in dry state have rarely been taken into account. Therefore, the aim of this work was to assess the green roof layers’ thermal resistance concerning ISO 9869-1 where the drainage and dry substrate layers are substituted w... Mehr ...
