| description | This study investigates the thermal performance of green roof systems in a tropical climate, focusing on the small-scale building prototypes. Batu Pahat, Malaysia is experiencing
the increasing temperatures due to climate change. Green roofs are considered as a potential solution, but their effectiveness depends on various factors such as building orientation, solar shading, and thermal resistance (R-value). Therefore, modeling and simulation are crucial for
understanding green roof thermal behaviour. This study employs the Integrated Environmental Simulation Virtual Environment (IES-VE) software for analysis. Three identical small-scale buildings were constructed, one with Portulaca Grandiflora (PGR) plants, another with Alternanthera Paronychioides (ATN) plants, and a control roof with no vegetation. The Rvalues from the on-site green roofs were measured at 0.8899 m²K/W for PGR and 1.1477 m²K/W for ATN, while the control roof had an R-value of 0.1 m²K/W. Green roofs with higher R-values demonstrated a substantial reduction in indoor temperatures, making them a valuable
solution for improving thermal comfort in tropical climates. This study underscores the importance of green roofs in mitigating rising temperatures in tropical climates. Simulation
using IES-VE approved that green roofs can potentially reduce indoor temperatures, demonstrating their suitability for tropical regions. These findings have significant implications
for sustainable building design and urban planning in hot and humid climates. |
