| Abstract |
Modern cities are confronted with a serious environmental damages such as destruction of ecosystem and climate change resulting from rapid urbanization. It has been reported that the rooftop planting system (or tree planting around a building) could solve the problems relating to greenhouse effect, energy-resource depletion, air pollution, urban inundations and underground water as well as restoration of environmentally-friendly cities. Therefore, we attempted to apply a new roof planting system, which is a geometrical shape on the rooftop system. In this paper, experimental study has been performed??during the summer and the winter through the five different types of roof planting models.??As a result, this experiment shows that the geometrical shape is better than existing rooftop plane of system performance. Especially, we verified that new roof planting system with furrow shape have the advantage to previous predicted problems, namely, soil weight, surface, thermal performance, drainage, isolation and evaporation of soil.??Finally, additional studies are required to the considerable factors for practical use. |
