Abstract

The ecological roof is one with a cover of vegetation with a thin substratum and a layer of low level plants. This type of roof has many advantages including architectural, construction, environmental and aesthetic advantages. In order to determine the thermal behaviour of models with ecological roofs, simulations were performed on these and other types of construction in the two areas involved in the study: Maracaibo and Madrid. Six different roofs were created for the study, analysed in four ways: 1) with the building windows closed throughout the whole 24 hours; 2) with the windows closed during the day and open at night; 3) open 24 hours; 4) open during the day and closed at night. The simulation tool used in the study was the “Method of Interior Temperature Evolution Calculation” developed by Javier Neila. The results obtained show that the ecological roof reduces the heat transference in hot seasons, acting as exterior insulation, and preventing heat loss by radiation into space in winter.
