Abstract


This study presents the advantages of using green roofs for a specific office building from the II winter climatic zone and III summer climatic zone of Romania in increasing the energy efficiency through decreasing the consumption on the necessary of heat in winter season and the cooling energy during summer season. There is used an extensive green roof and it is presented a comparative analysis between this green solution and the classical one. There are presented the comparative consumptions for these two solutions in order to determine the advantages for the construction sector to implement the green solution on the large scale in our country. The purpose of this research was to describe the solution of specific kind of the green roof and to highlight the effects on roof heat and mass transfer provided by this solution.
