The reduction in evaporative surfaces cities is one driver for longer and hotter summers. Greening building can help to mitigate the loss of vegetated cover. Typical extensive green roof structures, such as sedum-based solutions, survive dry periods, but how roofs be made more effective hot periods come? research findings are based on continuous vegetation analytics typical over past 20 years. ...

The use of green roof is a great choice in case climate change mitigation and reduction urban heat islands. Positive aspects roofs during winter or the whole year round balance are often overlooked. surface highly insulated flat overcooled night by long wave sky radiation. This radiative cooling increases thermal losses that reduced existence additional layers. composition layers also have thei...

Daylight in classrooms is a critical factor in school design, in terms of its impact on students’ health, learning and visual performance. Providing adequate amount of evenly distributed daylight and glare prevention are important challenges in classroom design. Window configuration significantly affects the intensity and uniformity of daylight. This paper aims to investigate the effect o...

A rainfall simulator of length 5 m and width 1 m was used to supply constant intensity and largely spatially uniform water inflow events to 100 different configurations of commercially available green roof drainage layer and protection mat. The runoff from each inflow event was collected and sampled at one-second intervals. Time-series runoff responses were subsequently produced for each of the...

The use of green roofs is gaining increased recognition in many countries as a solution that can be used to improve environmental quality and reduce runoff quantity. To achieve these goals, pilot-scale green roof assemblies have been constructed and operated in an urban setting. From a stormwater management perspective, green roofs are 42.8-60.8% effective in reducing runoff for 200 mm soil dep...

this case report presents an eight-year-old girl having periauricular swelling and severe pain during mouth opening on the right-side temporomandibular joint (tmj). cbct showed extensive destruction of the base of the skull and the roof of the glenoid fossa on the right side. the findings based on ct and mri images with and without contrast are discussed herein. this report highlights a skull b...
