The thermal and energy efficiency of tropical green roofs is assessed by a theoretical model to clarify the contribution of underlying factors. The suitability of 1400 high-rise public housing blocks in Hong Kong for rooftop greening was assessed by remote sensing images. Weather and...

Thermal–energy performance of green roofs in winter is seldom investigated. With poor building thermal insulation and lacking artificial heating, indoor space in winter in subtropics can become uncomfortably cold with health implications for elderly and weak people. This experimental study...
