A Parametric Study of Fire Risks of Green Roofs to Adjacent Buildings

A Parametric Study of Fire Risks of Green Roofs to Adjacent Buildings

The susceptibility of plants to burn raises concerns about fire hazard that green roofs may pose to buildings. Main concerns relate to cases when such roofs are poorly maintained or stressed by drought conditions which leads to drying out of plants and the accumulation of dead organic material, grea...
