“…Green roofs add thermal resistance to the building, with consequent cooling effects of the building in summer months. The green roof layers, indeed, absorbs fewer solar radiations than the other types of roofs, with consequent monetary savings associated with cooling of the spaces under green roofs A study from the Japan revealed that green roofs can reduce the surface temperature from 30 °C TO 60 °C (Yang 2011).…”

“…Shading effects have a key role to provide thermal comfort for the dwellers living in green roof buildings. Due to the substantial contribution to the thermal comfort, energy consumption and energy spending by dwellers tend to decrease after the installation of the green roof systems on the buildings [62]. Based on the studies with related leaf thickness and coverage thickness, these parameters play an important role in the thermal regulation for buildings.…”

Fossil fuel-based energy consumption is still dominant in the world today, and there is a consensus on the limited reserves of these energy resources. Therefore, there is a strong stimulation into clean energy technologies to narrow the gap between fossil fuels and renewables. In this respect, several commitments and codes are proposed and adopted for a low energy-consuming world and for desirable environmental conditions. Sectoral energy consumption analyses clearly indicate that buildings are of vital importance in terms of energy consumption figures. From this point of view, buildings have a great potential for decisive and urgent reduction of energy consumption levels and thus greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Among the available retrofit solutions, greenery systems (GSs) stand for a reliable, cost-effective and eco-friendly method for remarkablemitigation of energy consumed in buildings. Through the works comparing the thermal regulation performance of uninsulated and green roofs, it is observed that the GS provides 20°C lower surface temperature in operation. Similar to green roofs, vertical greenery systems (VGSs) also reduce energy demand to approximately 25% as a consequence of wind blockage effects in winter. Therefore, within the scope of this chapter, GSs are evaluated for a reliable and effective retrofit solution toward low/zero carbon buildings (L/ZCBs).

“…Green and ecological roofs are covered with soil and plant layers in the upper layer. Between the roof sheet and the green part, there are layers such as drainage, root holding layer, moisture holding layer, water insulation, heat insulation [18][19][20]. Green roofs are divided into two as dense and widespread green roofs according to the depth of the layer carrying the plant and the type of vegetation.…”

Thanks to the developing technology and building material science, while the roof is an element that usually causes heat loss, with the sustainable use of green roofs, it has become an area that provides living spaces outside the building and can also be used as an activity. Green roofs are critical systems that improve the energy performance, air quality, and urban ecology without additional equipment, produce innovative solutions to the problems caused by rainwater and are located in sustainable buildings with these features. Green roofs are divided into two groups as intensive and extensive green roofs. These systems, which vary according to the thickness of the soil, may have a negligible effect in preventing the heat loss of the building. In this study, the impact of green roofs on energy performance and their role in preventing heat losses were analyzed through a sample social building. As a result, it was determined that green roofs avoid heat loss by 83% compared to the terrace roof.
