Long-term benefits of green roofs and facades: an in-depth analysis
The study investigates the impact of green roofs and facades on building energy efficiency and sustainability, focusing on their role in optimising energy use and promoting sustainable urban development. It highlights the following key benefits:
Improved insulation and reduced heat transfer
Regulation of indoor temperatures
Mitigation of urban heat island effects
These features help reduce the need for artificial heating and cooling.
By analysing case studies from diverse climates, the study addresses gaps in previous research by focusing on the long-term practical impacts of greenery systems and encourages their integration to combat climate change and pollution.
