Agreen rooforliving roofis aroofof

abuildingthat is partially or completely
covered with vegetation and a growing
medium, planted over awaterproofing
membrane. It may also include additional
layers such as aroot
DISADVANTAGES:

barrieranddrainageandirrigationsystems
The main disadvantage of
. green roofs is that the initial
cost of installing a green
roof can be double that of a
normal roof.
Additional mass of the soil
substrate and retained
water.
Added cost of reinforcing
buildings.
Structural standards
especially in seismic
regions.

ADVANTAGES:
Reduceheating(by addingmassand thermal resistance value)
Green roofs can also reduce heat loss and energy consumption in winter conditions.
Reduce cooling (byevaporative cooling) loads on a building by fifty to ninety
percent,especially if it is glassed in so as to act as aterrariumandpassive solarheat
reservoir a concentration of green roofs in an urban area can even reduce the city's
average temperatures during the summer

A study presented at the green roofs for healthy cities conference in june of 2004, cited
by the EPA, found water runoff was reduced by over 75% during rainstorms. See the PDF

Help to insulate a building for sound; the soil helps to block lower frequencies and the
plants block higher frequencies

Increase agricultural space
With green roofs, water is stored by the substrate and then taken up by the plants from
where it is returned to the atmosphere through transpiration and evaporation.
Green roofs not only retain rainwater, but also moderate the temperature of the water
and act as natural filters for any of the water that happens to run off.

FILLER SLAB
The filler slab technique is based on the principle that for which roofs are simply supported,
the upper part of the slab experience compressive and the lower experiences tensile forces.
Thermal insulation :
The air pocket formed by the contours of the tiles makes an excellent
thermal insulation layer. The design integrity of a filler slab involves
careful planning taking into account the negative zones and
reinforcement areas.

Cavity
