Abstract
The urban environment becomes a place of extremely high population density, which has such environmental defects as high risk of infectious and chronic diseases, air pollution, vulnerability to climate change, etc. On account of that, the problem of energy-efficient and safe construction methods development that would mitigate the effects of air pollution (to create areas for health recovery, increase the length of working period of human life) becomes especially important. As a tool for solving these problems, the technology of «green roof» is proposed. To confirm the theoretical studies on the energy efficiency of roofing with natural landscaping, a test stand was created, and an experiment to determine the thermal properties of a «green roof» was conducted in a laboratory of NRU MGSU (Moscow, Russia). The results of the experiment are presented. The energy efficiency of a public building roof was tested on three models of «green roof» with different composition and thickness. The results were compared with theoretical calculations.
