Research of Extensive Green Roof (Spring) for Create Comfortable Environment in Taiwan City

Abstract:

March to May at noon control area (exposed roof) temperature of 37.56°C, test below (green roofs) surface only 24.69°C, 24.79°C room temperature on the second floor, planting mean temperature of 27.6°C, effectively prevent the roof surface temperature rise, and thus reduce the interior roof of the second temperature 12.77°C . Building extensive green roofs to cooling, mainly to reduce the building room temperature of 3.76°C;reducing air conditioning electricity consumption , accomplish cooling and energy-saving benefits.March to May at noon (12:00-13:00), ANOVA analysis of cooling efficiency, the temperature difference between the building control area as the dependent variable, compare independent variables, and found that different monitoring areas of solar radiation cooling effect,2 floor indoor cooling temperature 13.9083°C, efficiency the most significant.Roofs of buildings spring will be applied as extensive green roof in spring, creating building roof thermal comfort (24.88°C) and Auliciems (1981) estimate room comfort temperature (24.55°C) are similar, significant benefits to achieve room thermal comfort.Buildings is applied for green roofs in the spring can reduce home power consumption (reducing air conditioning systems use frequency), to energy-saving (58.17%) of the economic benefits.
