Thermal Performance of Cultivation Waste of Edible Fungi as Planting Substrates in Extensive Rooftop Greeneries

Abstract:

As a kind of planting substrates for light virescence plant, cultivation waste of edible fungi (CWEF) has been analyzed and studied in this article. The survival condition of the kind of light green placed on rooftop had been observed in the hottest month summer which concluded a rainfall recycle. Based on the data, we could find that the kind of light green could cut down 80% heat flux into room through rooftop compared with the common rooftop, bring down obviously the temperature of the internal surface and outside surface, contribute to set up favorable indoor thermal environment. Furthermore, it can drop the air-conditioning energy consumption.
