Abstract
The green components of architectural elements coating is typical of old vernacular architecture in rural areas, although it may also be found within city areas. The roof is normally roofed with a coating of waterproofing material, subsequently with soil or another planting middle, and planted with grasses, flowers, groundcover, or still shrubs and trees. A green roof is a conventional roof that is covered with a stratum of vegetation. It involves growing plants on rooftop, thus replacing the vegetated foot print that was shattered when the building was constructed. The plantings can dish up as natural insulation, diminish manure system loads and air pollution, and oppose the heat island effect and climate changing. In general, the term specifies for any roof covered with a growth substrate with plants growing on it, and as such, green roofs vary enormously in their type and function. At the same time, as it is exactly as green as the plants that cultivate there, it is also “green” in the earth-friendly sense.
