Green roofs in European climates. Are effective solutions for the energy savings in air-conditioning?
Ascione, Fabrizio; Bianco, Nicola; de’ Rossi, Filippo; … - In: Applied Energy 104 (2013) C, pp. 845-859
Several studies show the potential benefits achievable by recurring to roof vegetation. Really, little literature investigates the economic feasibility of such solution. The paper verifies utility of green roofs, under environmental and energy point of views, by considering all the aspects that...
