Abstract

Building Services Engineering Research & Technology, Ahead of Print.
Green roofs (GR) are critical for reducing building energy demands, yet thermal interactions between specific vegetation architectures and substrate layers remain difficult to quantify for building services design. This study applies the amplitude method ...
