A comprehensive study on green roof performance for retrofitting existing buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an in-depth analysis of green roof feasibility for retrofitting existing buildings in the Mediterranean city of Catania, and the results showed that only green roof solutions with a load limit of 1.46

The evapotranspiration process in green roofs: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review on the cooling effect due to the evapotranspiration process of green roofs is presented, where the main experimental results available in literature, the physical-mathematical models and the dynamic simulation software used for the evaluation of the latent heat flux are also analysed and discussed among the available literature.

Thermal performance assessment of extensive green roofs investigating realistic vegetation-substrate configurations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate different extensive green roof solutions for assessing thermal performance and to provide information on vegetation and substrate layer design, and a comprehensive ranking was created based on the scores to identify which extensive green roofs combinations offered the highest performance.
