Original Abstract

This article is focused on the assessment of the pitched turf green roof to the cardinal points, its permanent sustainable functional condition and investigation of a possible damage caused by local climate. The solution of these problems is the crucial factor in next development, use and expansion of this type of roofing in European broader range. This study of the roof construction that was made in Iceland offers conclusion based on quick changes of the local climate conditions and demanding extreme weather impacts. The main aim of this research is proposed the right possible solution and design of this construction including dealing with the details, select the convenient orientation to the cardinal points and surroundings to provide long-term stability of this construction.
