This book discusses how climate change and heat islands are a main
contributor to water related problems in urban areas in Kosice,
Slovakia. Green roofs are used as a tool to assist in solving these
water related issues. The need to provide housing in urban areas is
expected to rise to 66% in 2050, according to the United Nations.
Many urban areas have seen natural permeable green areas replaced
with concrete constructions and hard, non-permeable surfaces. The
densification of existing built-up areas is responsible for the
decreasing vegetation, which results in the lack of
evapotranspiration cooling the air, thereby creating urban heat
islands. Several studies, discussed in this book, have shown that
natural and permeable surfaces, as in the case of green roofs, can
play a crucial role in mitigating this negative climate phenomenon
and providing higher efficiency for buildings, leading to savings
such as water, one of the focal points of this research.
