Abstract

As the main living space and carrier of the population, cities and buildings have become more seriously affected by changes in global environment in recent years. The deteriorating living environment has brought about the quality of survival of the population, the government’s administrative management, and the sustainable development of the environment. This article has found that green roofs on urban environmental management and building energy consumption have found that green roofs can have an important impact on urban environmental management. In extreme weather events, green roof has a maximum cooling effect of 26℃ in the daytime, and its warming effect at night has been suppressed to a certain extent; the heat preservation time of the green roof can be up to 17 hours after the superposition of precipitation weather incidents, and its heat preservation effect is positively related to the temperature in the daytime. The green roof can reduce the energy consumption of the building by 106W/ ㎡/d in the extreme weather incident, while its energy -saving effect is reduced to 45W/m²/d after superimposing the precipitation meteorological incident.
