Abstract:

In this study, the effect of green roof application on heating requirement, environmental emissions and fuel cost in two different cities located in different degree day zones was examined at two different indoor temperatures. Heating requirement, monthly fuel cost and emission values have been determined for the condition of the building without heat insulation, heat insulation and green roof. In addition, by performing an economic analysis, the payback period of the investment has been calculated with thermal insulation and green roof application. In case the indoor temperature is 19 ° C, there is no need for heating in May and September in the second-degree day region, while the indoor temperature is 21 ° C in May and September. For indoor 19 ° C, 15161.80 kgCO2 for the first-degree day zone, 32484.27 kgCO2 for the second-degree day zone, 19344.34 kgCO2 for the first-degree day zone for the indoor temperature 21 ° C, and the temperature for the second-degree day zone a reduction of 36246.31 kgCO2 was achieved compared to the thermally non-insulated situation.
