<i>Un suolo artificiale: il ruolo dell'acqua nella progettazione della copertura a verde. Implicazioni tecnologiche e verifica sperimentale</i>

Abstract

The green roof is a living installation laying up a waterproofing sheet. The hybridization between plant organisms and construction elements represents a high level of technical specificity and planning complexity, derived from a large number of variables involved. In the other hand the green roof properties are many and the ones studied are the thermal behaviour and the water retention capacity. The research investigates different technical solutions related to the meteorological parameters, evaluating in particular the Mediterranean contest. The shape configurations and the energy performances are analysed as well. Moreover the research shows the green roof behaviour during the rain water events thanks to an experiment performed with a rain chamber.
