Green roofs are an emerging climate change adaptation technology that is widespread in Europe and North America, but rare and untested in Australia. Our research will significantly progress the Australian green roof industry by overcoming barriers to their implementation. This will lead to multiple environmental, economic and health benefits at a variety of scales. Benefits for individual buildings include greater energy efficiency, increased roof life and the attenuation of noise. Environmental benefits include biodiversity habitat, reduced volume and improved quality of stormwater flows and cooling of the urban environment. This will further reduce energy use and greenhouse emissions, while reducing human health risks during heat waves.

绿色屋顶是一种新兴的气候变化适应技术，在欧洲和北美广泛使用，但在澳大利亚却很少见，也未经测试。我们的研究将通过克服实施障碍来显着推进澳大利亚绿色屋顶行业。这将在各种规模上带来多种环境、经济和健康惠益。单个建筑物的好处包括更高的能源效率，增加屋顶寿命和噪音衰减。环境效益包括生物多样性生境、减少雨水流量和提高雨水质量以及城市环境降温。这将进一步减少能源使用和温室气体排放，同时减少热浪期间的人类健康风险。
