This paper discusses the sustainability benefits through the installation of living green roofs and walls in urban areas. A brief history of these living systems is provided to give context to the reader. Different kinds of green roofs and walls, how they are maintained, and their many benefits will be discussed. The many public and private benefits for cities that implement these systems will be examined. Then two case studies in different locations will be looked at that examine different benefits of green roofs in two different climates.

Com a busca de alternativas para melhorar o conforto ambiental em ambientes construídos, os sistemas de fachadas e tetos verdes aparecem como uma opção para melhoria, em especial, do conforto térmico. Utilizando-se de um episódio climático representativo no mês de junho de 2016, analisou-se comparativamente o comportamento térmico de uma célula de teste com fachada e teto verde e uma célula de controle para avaliação do desempenho térmico em dia crítico experimental de frio. O experimento foi realizado no Centro de Recursos Hídricos e Estudos Ambientais (CRHEA) da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), em Itirapina-SP. Os resultados indicaram que a célula de teste com fachada e teto verde possui um melhor desempenho térmico em comparação à célula de controle. Palavras-chave: desempenho térmico, episódio climático representativo, comportamento térmico, fachada verde, cobertura verde. Abstract In searching for better thermal behavior alternatives in building environments green facade systems and green roofs emerge as an improvement option, particularly in thermal comfort. Using a representative climate episode to analyze the month of June of 2016 we studied the thermal performance of a green façade and green roof test cell and a control test cell in experimental critical cold day. The experiment was made in Water Resource and Environmental Studies Center (CRHEA) of University of São Paulo (USP), in Itirapina-SP. The results indicated the green wall and green roof test cell have a better thermal performance than control test cell. Keywords: Thermal performance, climatic representative episode, thermal behavior, green façade, green cover.

The main goal of this paper is to present results on an experimental field about the green roofs thermal behavior, compared to other traditional roof covering systems. On the one hand, it intends to describe shortly the constructive system of a green roof with a lightweight building system, which has a sustainable building materials character and, on the other, it worries with the water reuse and with the run-off delay. The main methodological procedure adopted to study the thermal behavior of green roof was installing thermocouples to collect surface temperatures and indoor air, later comparing them with existing prototypes in an experimental plot. The thermal behavior analysis of cover systems was assessed by a representative episode of the climate fact, based on the dynamic climate approach. The experimental results from internal air temperature measurements show that the green roofs applied to warm and dry climates also provide an interesting time lag with surface and internal air temperature reduction.

Present waste management policies aim to reduce waste environmental impacts and improve resources’ efficiency. The use of waste and recycled materials to develop green construction materials are attracting researchers worldwide to develop new solutions addressed to increase the sustainability of buildings. This work presents a study of a new recycled mortar panel from the point of view of its contribution to the sustainability of buildings. Materials from industrial waste, as rigid polyurethane foam and electric arc furnace slags, are used as an additive of prefabricated mortar panels. The new proposed panels must have good thermal behavior with respect to the heat transfer interactions with the outside temperature and relative humidity, when compared to traditional brick or concrete. A test building with two kinds of representative uses, which are both residential and tertiary, and located in three cities of Spain with different climates, will be energy simulated in order to assess the thermal behavior of new construction or refurbished opaque ventilated façades with the new mortar panel. The thermal behavior of the new mortar panels would be studied by means of two energy assessments: (i) the evaluation of the influence of the new mortar panel in the energy demand of the whole building when compared to traditional materials, and (ii) the detailed analysis of the transient inner surface temperature of the space walls when using the new mortar panel. Based on the results obtained from the energy simulations performed, it follows that the thermal behavior of the mortar panel is, at least, equivalent to those of the other two materials, and even better in some aspects.
