The Monograph investigates several green roof layouts by altering the materials utilised, with the goal of proposing a novel technological solution. Furthermore, this Monograph intends to advance scientific understanding of building passive cooling, which is one of the primary advantages of green roofs. To begin, a thorough bibliographical examination of the technological aspects of green roofs was conducted. Even in the case of building retrofitting, the numerical analysis required comparing the performance of several commercial solutions in order to select those with the best energy efficiency. Two experimental setups have been built and installed based on scientific literature and numerical analysis results. The first, at the University of Catania, was designed to test the thermal performance of an innovative technology that used polyethylene granules derived from the recycling of agricultural film as a drainage material. The second, constructed at the University of Lleida in Spain, with the goal of determining the passive cooling of a green roof due to evapotranspirative phenomena, altering the irrigation regime, and linking it to both energy performance and microclimatic conditions.
