Heat transfer, energy saving, air conditioning, mathematical model, conventional roofAbstract
In this work, a mathematical heat transfer model is presented to evaluate the thermal effect of the implementation of extensive green roofs for the rehabilitation of poorly insulated buildings subjected to the climatic conditions of Mexico City, Yucatan and Coahuila. The model, which requires a few amounts of input data, is solved numerically and implemented in Python. The results show that the implementation of a green roof contributes to decrease the amplitude of internal temperature oscillation of the building, decreases the average indoor temperature and reduces the consumption of electrical energy for air conditioning.
