A PROPOSED METHODOLOGY FOR GREEN ROOF DESIGN STANDARDS FOR ENERGY SAVING IN HIGHER EDUCATION BUILDINGS

Abstract

This study focuses on the question of inadequate warm comfort in the Faculty Spaces inside university constructions, which is generally from the weak efficiency of the construction wrapper. Based on the idea of energy sustainability, the study aims to investigate the material part of green roofs in reconstructing energy efficiency and lifting warm comfort in these vital scopes. The significance concerning this research lies in obtaining the academy's tenable aims while ensuring the comfort and raised output of ability members in their rooms, as they show the foundation of the educational process. The study used depended on an all-inclusive approach utilizing the simulation program Design Builder v 6.0, that proves the magnitude to which strength adeptness was worked out with green roofs in skill rooms in university constructions on the 6th of October City in Greater Cairo. The study highlighted the difference of green roofs, their talent to specify thermal covering for interior rooms, and their offering to reducing the heat peninsula wonder encircling houses. The results indicated that green roofs are a main beautiful part and a highly persuasive tenable method for enhancing strength effectiveness in constructions. The study again indicated that setting green roofs above skill scopes, along with the adding of 8 cm of polystyrene warm lining, could help reconstruct strength effectiveness by at least 30% distinguished to the base case.
