... make possible to house worms, an important organism to the good maintenance of the soil. The main advantage of this system is with relation to the low impact of its weight over the concrete slab in comparison with the modular system, and it also allows the development of a vegetal diversity, once that there are no boundaries between the plaques Fig. ...

... are the country borage (Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spr), the peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), Masha-hari (Justicia pectoralis Jacq), 'milona' (Cissampelos sympodialis) and chamomile (Matricaria recutita L. ), as seen in Fig. 6. The dimensions of the TEVA block and TEVA plaque, as well as their respective masses, can be found summarized in Fig. 7, including an estimate by meters squared of the mass of the green roof systems ...
Context 3
... considering the data presented in Fig. 7, adding the mass of the substrate and vegetation, it is estimated that none of the proposed systems will go over the maximum limit of acceptable load for extensive green roofs, which is of 150 kg/m². Among the three proposed systems of green roofs, the modular might get close to this ...

Urban green infrastructure (UGI) within sustainable stormwater management provides numerous benefits to urban residents, including urban heat island (UHI) mitigation. Cost–benefit analyses (CBA) for UGI have been conducted at neighborhood level with a focus on stormwater management, but valuations of reductions in heat-related hospitalizations and...

In the last years green roofs are being used as a control measure for urban stormwater management as they retain, detain and slowly release rainwater. Green roofs present many economic, social and environmental benefits. After a general overview of the main features of green roofs, the paper focuses on the main outcomes highlighted by selected lite...

Cet article a pour objectif l'étude de la performance énergétique des bâtiments revêtus d'une toiture végétalisée. Les méthodes numériques de discrétisation, d'adimentionalisation, ainsi que le double balayage ont été utilisées afin de pouvoir mettre en place un code de calcul adapté à la résolution du système régissant les différents transferts au...
Using water budget data from published literature, we demonstrate how hydrologic processes govern the function of various stormwater infrastructure technologies. Hydrologic observations are displayed on a Water Budget Triangle, a ternary plot tool developed to visualize simplified water budgets, enabling side-by-side comparison of green and grey ap...
To reach future climate targets, it is important to verify that materials and technologies used for construction are sustainable and have a minimal environmental impact. The goal of this project was to add a broad life cycle perspective for quantifying energy and greenhouse gas emission, from the upstream flow of the construction process and the op...
