3 Why green roofs? Aesthetics and recreation Biodiversity and habitat Roof life Air quality Storm water quality Storm water runoff reduction Urban Heat Island (UHI) Building Energy Consumption 3

8 A typical extensive green roof 8
9 The literature asserts a wide range of energyrelated performance claims 9
10 ~11 o C ( 20 o F) warmer at night Average rooftop (membrane) surface temperatures for a standard and a green roof from the Penn State University field experiment. Denardo et al., ASAE,
11 Temperature Heat Flux Maximum Summer Roof Temperatures: * green roof avg. of 22 o C (39 o F ) cooler than a conventional roof. * green roof warmer at night Student Union, Univ. Central Florida. J. Sonne, ASHRAE J.,
12 Results from simplified models energy savings (up) to 48%... majority of existing and new buildings Modeled green roof as a simple reduction in U-Value (increase in R-value of about 2.5 ft 2 o F /Btu). Neglected thermal storage, moisture-dependent performance, and differing behavior with respect to environmental conditions. Savings reported are percent of HVAC energy (not total building energy) Moderate insulation was R-7 to R-8; Well insulated was R-14 to R-22. Nichaou et al, Energy and Bldgs.,
13 Measurements at ORNL Results showed vegetative roofs reduced heat gain (reduced cooling loads) compared to the white control system by approximately 61%... to 67%. 4ft by 4ft test sections on ORNL s RTRA Only insulation was fiberboard with R-3.8. Desjarles et al, RCI Proceedings,
14 The Roof is only one Contributor to HVAC Loads Roof Windows Infiltration Internal loads & ventilation Walls 14
15 Heat Transfer on a Green Roof Latent heat (evapotranspiration) Sensible heat (convection) Shading (LW & SW) Evapotranspiration Insulation Thermal storage Moisture balance Shortwave radiation Longwave radiation Conduction Protection & Drainage Layers and Roof Construction 15
16 Thermal Conductivity and Soil Moisture Meles and Sailor, Energy and Buildings
17 Conventional Roof Day Conventional Roof -- Night T surf = T membrane ~ o F Heats up rapidly during summer day but cools off rapidly at night. 17
18 Cool White Roof -- Day Cool White Roof -- Night T surf = T membrane ~ o F Doesn t heat up as much during summer day and cools off significantly at night. 18
19 Green Roof-- Day Green Roof- Night T surf ~ o F T membrane ~ o F Doesn t heat up much during summer day but remains warm at night due to stored heat. 19

23 Modeling Study Design - Buildings Buildings based on US DoE Commercial Building Benchmarks (ASHRAE ; Torcellini et al. 2008) Lodging (residential) - four floors, 31 apartments, and an office space - totaling 2824 m 2 of conditioned area with a roof area of 744 m 2 Office - three floors, 4982 m 2 of conditioned space, and 1660 m 2 of roof area Both building types have electric direct expansion (DX) cooling and natural gas heating Internal loads and schedules are different 23
24 Modeling Study Design Cities 24
25 Modeling Study Design Roofs Membrane Roof Baselines: metal decking, rigid insulation (0.125m thick) and a roofing membrane with solar reflectance of 0.30 (conventional) and 0.65 (white) Green roof cases: 9 cases varying growing media depth and LAI. All non-irrigated. The baseline green roof = 15cm, LAI=2 5 cm 15 cm 30 cm LAI= A Leaf / A (0.5, 2.0, 5.0) 25
26 PHOENIX BUILDINGS Energy Use in Baseline Buildings (conventional roof) PORTLAND BUILDINGS Sailor et al., JBP,
27 Energy and Cost Savings for Baseline Green Roofs Compared to Conventional Roofs Electricity and gas savings of baseline green roof compared to conventional roof per square meter of roof area. Savings are nominally ½ to 2% of total building energy. Sailor et al., JBP,
28 Energy and Cost Savings for Baseline Green Roofs Compared to White Roofs 80,000 a) Energy Savings $0.40 b) Energy Cost Savings kj/m 2 60,000 40,000 20,000 0 $0.20 $ ,000 -$ ,000-60,000 -$0.40 Elec Savings Gas Savings Elec Cost Gas Cost Annual energy and energy cost savings per unit roof area of the baseline green roof compared to a highly reflective white roof. Sailor et al., JBP,
29 Annual Energy Savings Green Roof Soil Depth Annual energy and energy cost savings per square meter of roof for green roofs on lodging (L) and office (O) buildings with three different soil depths (5, 15, and 30 cm)compared to a conventional roof. Sailor et al., JBP,
30 Annual Energy Savings Green Roof Soil Depth Annual energy and energy cost savings per square meter of roof for green roofs on lodging (L) and office (O) buildings with three different soil depths (5, 15, and 30 cm)compared to a conventional roof. Sailor et al., JBP,
31 Annual Energy Savings Green Roof LAI Annual energy and energy cost savings square meter of roof for green roofs on lodging (L) and office (O) buildings with three different levels of LAI (0.5, 2.0, and 5.0)compared to a conventional roof. Sailor et al., JBP,
32 Annual Energy Savings Green Roof LAI Annual energy and energy cost savings square meter of roof for green roofs on lodging (L) and office (O) buildings with three different levels of LAI (0.5, 2.0, and 5.0)compared to a conventional roof. Sailor et al., JBP,
33 Roof Design affects Sensible and Latent Flux to the Urban Environment 36
34 The Urban Heat Island Sensible heat (S) Solar radiation Waste heat (Q f ) Long-wave radiation (LW) Evaporative cooling Thermal storage (G) 37
35 Summer Mean Peak (a) and Total (b) Sensible Flux to the Urban Environment TOTAL PEAK Scherba et al., Bldg. & Environ.,
36 Conclusions Green roofs can have lower energy cost than conventional roofs, and sometimes compete well against white roofing Effects are more pronounced for lodging buildings Energy benefits more substantial in less insulated buildings Deeper soils reduce energy consumption in lodging buildings Increased LAI reduces cooling load but increases heating load Roof choice can have significant impact on the external energy budget and urban climate system 39
