| Summary: | The high temperature during the hot season in Iran is the greatest challenge in
cooling down residential and commercial buildings in cities because heating and
cooling consume the highest amount of energy at the expense of environmental
quality. Air pollution, urban heat effect and heat waves, peak energy demands, lack
of green space are amongst the most critical environmental issues in Iranian urban
areas especially in Tehran. The study implemented a humanistic approach integrated
in a qualitative research methodology to develop a green roof strategy for Iran from
amongst professional experts and public responses for reducing the high temperature.
This study used. in-depth interviews among professionals and public about their
perception towards the application of green roof policy and planning, and their
related technical: and vertical landscape. Among the factors interviewed include the
development of a localized green roof policy, consideration of different weather
conditions, adaptation of new irrigation and water supply technologies, selection of
plant species, certification, development of an education awareness program, and mitigation of high capital investment. |
