文摘
- •
Greater cooling by non-irrigated Sedum than irrigated meadow mixes in organic substrate.
- •
Top performing green roofs had irrigated Sedum in 10–15 cm organic substrate.
- •
Dense plant cover in 2D is more important than plant structure in 3D for roof cooling.
- •
Plant structure provides other green roof benefits; add Sedum to improve cooling.
