Abstract:

<p>A garden is an outdoor relaxation area, set aside for the display of plants and other natural habitats solitary to human life. However, due to the reduced open space in urban areas, turning parks into gardens has become common. Therefore, a roof garden is an attractive option because it is private, and accessible to only certain people. Presently, the Study Program Landscape Architecture Universitas Trisakti, Jakarta, Indonesia, has a roof garden used to support certain subjects' practical activities. However, the concept of a green pattern applied to the roof garden of this institution is not optimal. Therefore, this study aims to determine the design principles that have not been maximized in the roof garden of Study Program Landscape Architecture due to inaccuracy in the arrangement of the green pattern. This is descriptive research intended to describe and examine the characteristics, relationships, similarities, and differences of green patterns in the roof garden with other phenomena.</p>

Abstract:

The cities of the world are facing serious problems due to environmental hazards. The Department of Agricultural Extension has been implementing a pilot project on expansion of roof gardening in the Dhaka city since 2018 to reduce the increasing temperature, air pollution and for food production. However, no study has been conducted to find out the suitable technologies for producing fresh, safe and nutritious foods in the roof garden and to investigate the role of this roof garden on environment conservation for the Dhaka city dwellers with changing climate. Therefore, a research based roof garden model was developed at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University with the financial help of NATP-2 project. The experimental results showed that roof garden reduced upper surface temperature of roof more than 9°C and lower surface temperature of roof by 1.74°C and believe to reduce the electricity consumption for cooling the room of the top floor of the building during summer season. The oxygen and carbon dioxide percent were higher and lower, respectively in the garden than the bare roof. Therefore, the results suggest that urban crop production and environmental balance can be achieved to a certain extent by increasing the intensity of roof gardening in the Dhaka city

Abstract:

The research has been conducted in several phases for 10 years on existing intensive roof gardens in the Trencin district. The first phase was carried out within the GP 1/4419/47 Adaptability of Cultural Vegetation in Consequence of Global Draining and Warming. Roof gardens are a good place for simulating natural phytocenose sites that are able to accumulate rainfall without taking it to drainage. The second phase of research was conducted within a continuation of GP 1/1316/04, verifying xeric plants for conditions of changing climate in a urbanized environment on different construction systems. For a statistical evaluation it was necessary to select taxa in at least three roof gardens. The basic hypothesis was that all plants are conditionally suitable for roof gardens. Another assumption was that the maintenance of all roof gardens is uniform. Results have shown that some plants are more adaptable and drought-tolerant even if the maintenance of roof garden is not appropriate.

Abstract:

This paper presents partial results of measurements in the layers of roof garden in winter and summer. In winter, the roof garden acts as additional insulator for buildings, reducing energy needed to provide heating. Layer of soil on intensive vegetative roof in the winter can considerably reduce daily temperature fluctuations. On hot summer days, the roof garden can considerably reduce the heat flux through the roof. Transpiration in plants cools the surrounding air, thus lowering the temperature of the surface of the soil.

Abstract:

Green roofs are touted as an environmental technology for urban areas due to their many benefits (Lundholm et al. 2008). Although the design and the benefits have been reported in many reports and articles, they are reviewed here for those who are unfamiliar with this technology. Green roofs, or more formally, green roof infrastructure, is a technology that allows for the growth of vegetation on a roof while protecting the building envelope from leakage and root penetration. A green roof is more than a layer of soil piled on the roof, planted in the way that you might plant a garden. The technology consists of multiple layers that include the plants and growing medium or substrate, but also a drainage layer for storing water that was not used by the plants and a waterproof, root-repellent membrane (Figure 1).

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the possibilities of purification of rainwater drains by using "green roofs" and their further using for domestic needs: watering the garden and the roof itself; toilets washing; laundry. To collect rainwater it is proposed to use the storage tank. The basis of the calculations are taken by the German method Wilo, adapted to the conditions of Ukraine. A significant contribution to this methodology is taking into account the uneven distribution and precipitation throughout the whole year and the lack of costs for watering the garden and roof in the winter period. Purified rainwater from "green roofs" can be assembled into tanks and used for technical needs. For collecting rain water from an intensive flat roof with an area of 200 m2 for the family of 4 people a tank of 5 m3 is required. In this case, the total needs for the house and watering the garden are 111 m3 / year, and daily needs - 0,341 m3 / day.

Abstract:

Abstract Most innovative and eco-friendly project alternatives are rejected due to higher initial costs. This problem arises due to the general cost analysis that considers only the initial costs. It can be solved using Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) approach because LCCA helps the decision makers to select the project alternative with more economic benefits by considering the costs incurred in it throughout the life cycle. In this paper, the life cycle cost analysis of the rooftop garden was carried out and compared with the conventional roof using openLCA software. The rooftop garden includes many environmental benefits such as the reduction of the urban heat island effect, reduction of noise pollution, improvement in quality of air, management of surface runoff and conservation of biodiversity. Still, the use of rooftop gardens is not common in the projects due to their higher initial costs. Thus, LCCA was carried out to evaluate its economic feasibility. A model was developed using openLCA software to carry out the analysis. The costs considered in the analysis include the initial costs, maintenance costs, renovation costs and energy costs. The cost data were collected for extensive rooftop gardens laid in commercial buildings in and around Chennai city. The results indicate that the initial cost of the rooftop garden was 5.2 times higher than that of the conventional roof but due to the prolonged life period and the energy savings of the rooftop garden, the life cycle cost was 5.25% lower than that of the conventional roof.

Abstract:

Urban agglomerations create extreme microclimates for plants, in which growth, development and survival means adaptation. Plantations expansions beyond the typical gardens to buildings, walls or other build structures were realized in many cities with a rigorous selection of plant species. Although the number of woody species well adapted to the urban environmental conditions is quite large, few species manage to grow and develop on the roofs. Two species - Vinca major ‘Variegata’ and Hedera helix, regularly used for this type of plantations in Bucharest, were selected to understand their mechanism of adaptation. A comparative study was conducted on these species, growing on a rooftop garden and at the ground level into a typical garden. Both species revealed considerable anatomical differences of the leaves. In addition, physiological determinations revealed a stronger intensity of photosynthesis, an intense transpiration and a lower respiration rate at plants grown in the roof garden.

Abstract:

Recently the interest on rainwater harvesting has been increasing and the installation of rainwater harvesting system (RWHS) has been spread. However, little information is available about influences of catchment materials and system configurations on rainwater quality. This study was performed to examine the rainwater quality according to catchment conditions and system configurations in a roof RWHS. The catchment area of the building #39 in Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea is 3,652 m2 and consists of the concrete roof, roof garden and marble terrace. RWHS provides water for toilet flushing through the supply facilities. Water quality was analyzed at each catchment area and facilities of the system during rainfall. The pH, EC, turbidity and SS of runoff from the marble terrace showed higher than those of runoff from roof and roof garden. As influences of runoff from terrace and roof garden, turbidity, SS and EC showed high concentration in early part of the RWHS, but those were lower as passing through the system. Catchment conditions should be considered carefully in design of RWHS. Furthermore, the change of water quality due to the arrangement and configurations of the system should be reflected to evaluate water quality in RWHS.

Abstract:

Rain gardens are not yet a very popular solution in Poland but their number in cities is steadily growing. They are a measure of adaptation of cities to climate change. Rain gardens can be effective in rainwater retention and delaying runoff or groundwater recharge via infiltration. Among the benefits, also rainwater purification function is often suggested. The aim of the study was (1) to analyze potential phosphorus leaching from construction materials sampled from two rain gardens, and (2) to assess the quality of effluent from multi-layered rain garden in container. Results showed that materials commonly used in filling up rain gardens (sand and gravel) can be a significant source of phosphorus in filtered rainwater. Concentration of phosphorus in both, roof runoff and effluent from multi-layerded rain garden, show different patterns in different series. These preliminary studies show the need of continuous monitoring of existing rain gardens, as well as responsible selection of filter materials for newly built ones.

Abstract:

In recent years, urban flooding occurred frequently because of extreme rainstorms. Sponge city construction can effectively mitigate urban flooding and improve urban rainwater utilization. Low-impact development (LID) is regarded as a sustainable solution for urban stormwater management. In this project, a comprehensive evaluation system was developed based on environmental and economic benefits using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) of the United States (US) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The performance of four LID scenarios with the same locations but different sizes of green roof, permeable pavement, concave greenbelt, and rain garden were analyzed in the Sucheng district of Jiangsu province in China. Results illustrate that the green roof performed best in reducing runoff, while the rain garden performed worst. The LID combination scenario (1) that contained more green roof, permeable pavement, and concave greenbelt facilities, but fewer rain gardens had the better comprehensive performance on the basis of environmental and economic benefits. The combined scenario (2) (LID proportion of maximum construction area was 40%) could also be an alternative. This study provides a guide to optimize LID layouts for sponge city construction, which can also provide optimal selection for other sponge city constructions.

Abstract:

In recent days, the practice of adopting rooftop garden can be seen in urban areas of developing countries, but a successful adoption of well-equipped green roofs is still lacking and is limited to open farms. To fulfill the gaps in urban agriculture in determining diversity status and socioeconomic factors affecting the adoption of RTG, this study was conducted. The survey was conducted from February 3 to April 6, 2021, where a total of 116 respondents were selected randomly from Morang and Sunsari districts. The rooftop adopters had 30.5% and 33.2% of the roofs under farming in Morang and Sunsari, respectively, having the size of the roof of rooftop adopters significantly larger than nonadopters. A binary logit model was used to determine the factor affecting the adoption of RTG where age, gender, schooling year, training, and farming experience have a significant effect on the adoption of RTG. Locally available material was given preference under farming and nutritionally important 50 species were reported with tests of the daily food requirement of the respondents. The diversity indices suggest that ornamental plant diversity is more followed by vegetables. Though, adopters are continuing the garden but have reported that lack of proper policy and ineffective management makes it difficult to protect the life of roof. Concludingly, respondents and other willing people must be provided with training, financial support, and proper extension services as lack of training and extension services are the major problems reported in the study area. Proper policy of rooftop garden is lacking in study area though it is under study in Kathmandu; thus, policy makers and research institution should focus on promoting the rooftop in study area and provide more reliable package for roof protection and garden continuation.

Abstract:

Roof garden arrangements, which have emerged in recent years based on environmentally friendly approaches, not only increase urban aesthetics but are also a design approach that contributes to the solution of problems caused by climate change. In this study, the filtration performance of different geotextile materials was investigated based on the extensive roof garden model. The studies related to the research were carried out as an open field pot experiment in Ege University Bayindir Vocational School. Crassula ovata from succulent group plants was used as plant material. 3 filtration materials were tested as filter layers, namely glass fibre, raw cotton, and polypropylene fabric. Various statistical analyses were applied to determine the effectiveness of the filtration materials in extensive roof garden applications. According to statistical significance levels it can be said that the use of polypropylene fabric as filtration material would be more advantageous compared to alternative geotextile materials.

Abstract:

The roofs of buildings play an essential role in energy efficiency because a significant amount of solar radiation is absorbed by roofs in hot weather and a significant amount of heat is lost through roofs in cold weather. This paper is a systematic literature review about roofing methods for flat roofs. Ten roofing methods are reviewed in this paper. They are concrete roof, cool roof, insulated roof, roof garden, photovoltaic panels’ roof, biosolar roof, double-skin roof, roof ponds, skylight roof, and wind catcher. The review covers each roof’s main features, heat flux reductions, payback periods, and the appropriate climate for its implementation. Furthermore, the basic principles for selecting appropriate roofing methods are discussed and future studies for integrating these roofing methods are suggested. Some of these methods can eliminate the need of installing HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air-conditioning) systems and others can achieve a high percentage of heat reduction if they are the right choice and they are implemented in the right circumstances. An incorrect selection could result in mild to severe energy penalties. The review contributes to the increasing knowledge about sustainable roofing and helps designers to increase building energy efficiency by selecting the appropriate roofing method.

Abstract:

With the increasing public awareness of the human relations system with the surrounding environment, communities are beginning to shift towards better sources and methods to help improve the environment. One of the methods that began to be utilized is the application of green roof construction. There are many benefits for installing a green roof whether it is in a home or office building. The study was conducted on applicable green roof construction, the benefits of installing a green roof and a process run for a green roof installation with a construction approach applicable to urban housing buildings in Jakarta and on cost analysis on material requirements and installation. And in its efforts to reduce rainwater runoff. Green roof as one in the management of rainwater in urban areas. From the result of the research resulted the calculation on survey location percentage of runoff decrease 26%. While in the test object / mock-up there is a reduction of 95% runoff volume. It can be concluded that the use of a green roof / roof garden can reduce the runoff volume produced by rainwater, resulting in reduced surface runoff automatically reduced. This will also reduce the drainage-drainage burden of the city in accommodating water. The Roof Garden plays a role in the management of rainwater management to cope with puddles up to the danger of flooding

Increasing urbanization has highlighted the need for more green spaces in built-up areas, with considerable attention of vertical installations such as green walls and rooftop gardens. This study hypothesizes that the rooftop-garden-induced temperature reduction effects vary depending on the type of arrangements. Therefore, the objective of this study is to find the most efficient arrangement of the roof gardens for temperature reduction. This paper presents the results of a quantitative analysis of the temperature reduction effect of rooftop gardens installed on structures and sites on the campus of Seoul National University. An ENVI-Met simulation is utilized to analyze the effects of roads, buildings, green areas, and vacant land on temperature and humidity. The effects of the following five rooftop garden configurations were compared: extreme, linear (longitudinal), linear (transverse), checkerboard, and unrealized rooftop gardens. The extreme and linear (longitudinal) gardens achieved the maximum temperature reduction, −0.3 °C, while the lowest maximum reduction of −0.2 °C was achieved by the checkerboard pattern. Over larger areas, the greatest impact has been recorded in the mornings rather than in the afternoons. The results of this study will be useful for those planning and installing rooftop gardens at the district and city levels.

Abstract:

Nowadays, many urban cities in the world are facing problems of urban heat island and lack of greenery space. Rooftop farming is a strategy for intensifying urban agriculture activities, which can not only improve nutrition and food security in urban neighborhoods, but also reduce the energy consumption of air-condition and ease the power shortage in urban area of metropolitan regions. In this study, a thermal experiment and an index of energy saving analysis were carried out in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, China in August 2011, measuring external and internal surface temperatures of roofs with and without greening, using the same set of climate parameters. The experiment results show that the green roof with urban farming can contribute to the modulation of air temperature in the interior spaces of building. During the hot days in summer, the external surface temperatures of green roof are lower than the normal flat one. The result also reveals that external surfaces of vegetated green roof system could effectively lower surface temperature by 6 °C and save 18.7% electric power, comparing with the general flat roof of traditional building.

Abstract This paper focuses on rooftop gardens as a widely accessible space located on the rooftops of public buildings. Rooftop garden is a type of space which takes up a considerable surface on the rooftops of buildings, such as office towers, hotels, shopping malls, and serves the purpose of public space available to everyone. This relatively new public utility space arouses visitors’ interest, which is shown in the Authors’ research. This paper presents a qualitative research and results of the research conducted in three rooftop gardens in London. The investigations were concerned with: way of use, site attractiveness, maintenance and popularity level of each site in relation to the others. For this purpose, surveys were carried out among people who had visited at least one of the three study sites. Two non-participant observational surveys were also carried out during the warm and cold months. Conclusions were formulated as a result of the research described in this paper. During the research a profile of users visiting such public spaces as roof gardens was established. The characteristic architectural features of the roof gardens were also determined, so that their space could be considered accessible to all, attractive and willingly visited.

Abstract:

This is a report on the performance of 4 types of cool roof system through field tests. Cool roof means solar protection on roof surface [1]. The tested systems were solar cells as a shading device, several types of thermal insulation paint as heat reflectors, a rooftop garden as an outside thermal insulator on a roof and a water pond on a roof as a coolant with sensible heat and evaporation. The test results indicated obvious temperature difference between the cool roof and the ordinary surface. The heat flux was calculated from the results to estimate the cooling load saving. Finally, these results were examined from the viewpoint of cost performance.

Abstract:

Influenced by Le Notre Garden, Peter Walker’s works brought forward the landscape architectural modernism movement while embracing classical elements. Most of his works have geometric and symmetrical layout with axis and specifics to sites. Modern materials, dynamic and static waterscape, geometric shaped plants and sculptures are common elements of his design. This paper analyzed the innovative style and features of Peter Walker’s five modern-classical landscape works: Burnett Park (Fort Worth, Texas, USA), Garden of Kempinski Hotel (München, German), Toyota City Museum of Art (Toyota City, Aichi, Japan), IBM Solana (Dallas, Texas, USA) and Cambridge Center Roof Garden (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA).

Abstract:

Enormous use of ground for various purposes in urban areas has led to disappearance of green-planted surfaces. Considering space constraints, planted roofs become one promising and stabilizing choice to improve amenity and reduce the thermal loads on the building’s shell. However, a critical issue for rooftop garden is the release of pollutants in urban runoff. Not only particles but also dissolved pollutants should be removed from building drainage because of their potential impact on water environment. To add functions for the control of pollutant outflow, bauxsite minerals made of red waste from alumina refineries were incorporated in the rooftop garden as a special soil. The minerals have high trapping capacities for trace metals and other soluble species. Moreover, they are easy to integrate with rooftop garden systems. Based on their equilibrium capacity for removing pollutants, an optimum amount of bauxsite minerals is suggested. The characteristics of rainwater runoff and pollutants release were compared for normal and modified rooftop garden in laboratory scale. As expected, the green roof system with the bauxsite layer reduces the concentration of heavy metals. The technique used in this study is also likely to be implemented in other green surfaces in housing complexes.

Abstract:

ResumenEl arquitecto franco-suizo Le Corbusier ubicó un pequeño jardín entre las bóvedas de cubierta de la octava planta del inmueble de la rue Nungesser et Coli de París. Diseñado por él mismo, el inmueble alojaba en sus dos últimas plantas su propia vivienda y taller, desde donde se ubicó una escalera de caracol para dar acceso a su pequeño jardín privado. El abandono de éste durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y su redescubrimiento al finalizar la contienda, transformado y naturalizado, provocó en Le Corbusier un nuevo entendimiento del ‘techo-jardín’, cuya aplicación será recogida en multitud de proyectos posteriores de su obra de madurez, anticipando sensibilidades que integrarán ideas similares en el corpus metodológico proyectual actual.AbstractThe Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier created a small garden between the roof vaults of the eighth floor of the building on rue Nungesser et Coli in Paris. Designed by himself, this building housed his own home and workshop on its two upper floors, and a spiral staircase led to a small private garden. The abandonment of this garden during World War II and its rediscovery at the end of the war, transformed and given over to nature, gave Le Corbusier a new understanding of the ‘roof-garden’. He applied it to many projects in his mature work, prefiguring sensibilities integrated in similar ideas within the contemporary corpus of design methodologies.

Abstract:

David Lea is known for his refined and sensitive designs and for his long-standing concern for issues of sustainability. Sadly, many of his projects remain unbuilt. The latest of these is a visitor centre for an internationally renowned garden and arboretum in southern England. The design, described by Peter Blundell Jones, marks a break from Lea's customary use of pitched roofs and embraces the planning freedom which flat roof allows. But its greatest significance lies in the inspired manner in which the building acts as gateway to a remarkable landscape described by Jan Woudstra.

Abstract:

Today there is a problem of flooding of urban areas with rainwater and their slow drainage to rainwater sewage and further to the distribution collectors. There are several ways to ensure the resilience of urban areas to heavy rains and downpours. One of the current methods is "green" roofs (horizontal or sloping) ith green plantings, which is capable to absorb water. A certain amount of water is absorbed by the plants, its certain amount remains in the substratum, and the rest is filtered by several layers of the structure under the plants, which throttles the movement of it to the storm-water sewage. The second method is to collect rainwater in special storage tanks, which are located on the roof or near to the building or in the soil structure in the yard. The accumulated water is used for household needs: watering lawns, washing, flushing toilets, washing floors, cleaning pavements, etc. The third method is to absorb water and drain it by natural biological terrestrial sponge facilities: permeable surfaces, sloping terrain, natural vegetation, green structures, rain gardens, etc. These correspond to the modern concept of "sponge city". The authors propose a method of rapid drainage of rainwater using special "green structures" – rain-garden bands along the roadways. The ability to capture water by rain-garden bands has been confirmed on the example of most of the regional centres of Ukraine in case of the strongest observed precipitation. Such rapid drainage becomes especially important in the transition from cities for cars to cities for bicycles. This increases the requirements to avoid slippery roads for increasing the stability of these vehicles. In addition, the proposed rain gardens with shrubs can perform safe protective functions by extinguishing the kinetic energy of bouncing cars during a road accident.
