Research of Waste Recycling Natural Fiber Materials at Green Roof

Abstract:

In this study, the use waste of natural fiber applied in building facades and green roofs vegetation materials to reduce production costs and price, prompting facade green roof vegetation universal use, reduce the heat island effect to improve indoor and outdoor microclimate environment and ecological house in Taiwan, ecological communities, ecological city to create an inject vitality. The media of planting Cynodon spp. and Eremochloa ophiuroides material through quantitative data analysis and comparison of the 3 groups selected on material that suits the media light (670g), saturated moisture content (218%), low-cost ($1.1 USD). Planting Angelonia salicariifolia,Orthosiphon aristatus,Barleria repens material 17 group, through quantitative data analysis and comparison of the 3 groups selected of material that suits the media light (950g), saturated moisture content (241%), low-cost ($1.4 USD).
