Effectiveness of retrofitted green and cool roofs at reducing overheating in a naturally ventilated office

Mitigating summertime overheating is increasingly viewed as a key issue in urban planning – a warming climate and increasing urbanisation will exacerbate the problem. The research paper The effectiveness of retrofitted green and cool roofs at reducing overheating in a naturally ventilated office in London: Direct and indirect effects in current and future climates finds that non-insulated green and cool roofs were more effective than insulated roofs at reducing levels of overheating.
