Abstract

The energy-efficient provision of indoor comfort for buildings is one of the most important requirements for modern construction. The greening of buildings is a natural measure to achieve this, for which the most limiting factor is the lack of systematic research on its positive effects. At the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, a series of research on thermotechnical benefits and gas exchange in plant layers has been performed. The cooling effect of plants is up to 4 K. Semi-intensive green roofs on rooms have paths, which absorb solar radiation and load the air-conditioning systems. The proposed solution is to build the paths on the auxiliary premises with low microclimate requirements. The work aims to estimate the heat distribution in green roofs with paths to test the recommendation. Simulation using the Fourier–Kirchhoff equation shows that the path has a trace of higher heat transfer on the ceiling up to an additional 1.8‒2.0 W·m2. Thus, aligning the paths above the auxiliary premises is recommended, if possible. A better solution is to allow planting of the paths. Using plant-permit pavements and barefoot-in-dew systems such as ZinCo Soft Landscape are examples of such solutions. It is necessary to use grass that can be walked on.
