Guidelines for the Design and Application of Green Roof Systems by Sam C. M. Hui Book PDF Summary
Green roof systems are living vegetation installed on roofs and can provide many environmental and social benefits for achieving low-carbon, highperformance building. They can make cities more liveable by providing green spaces, mitigating urban heat islands (UHI), reducing air quality problems, enhancing stormwater management and increasing biodiversity.Green roofs offer an important way forward in urban greening, bringing natural wildlife back into the urban realm and providing much-needed ecosystem services to the built environment. Our cities and towns need to embrace green roofs to ensure that we adapt and mitigate our impact on the environment to achieve a liveable-quality and sustainable built environment.
