Original Abstract

This paper presents partial results of measurements in the layers of roof garden in winter and summer. Layer of soil on intensive vegetative roof in the winter can considerably reduce daily temperature fluctuations. On hot summer days, the roof garden can considerably reduce the heat flux through the roof. Transpiration in plants cools the surrounding air, thus lowering the temperature of the surface of the soil.
