The Effectiveness of Green Roof in Mitigating Urban Heat and the Prospect in Australia

The effectiveness of green roofs in alleviating urban heat and their future development prospects in Australia are explored. As an ecologically sustainable building method, green roofs can not only effectively reduce urban temperatures but also improve environmental quality. Specifically, photovoltaic green roofs combine the advantages of photovoltaic power generation and green roofs, improving energy utilization efficiency and increasing ecological value. Although Australia started relatively late in the development of green roofs, their application in cities has become increasingly widespread in recent years, demonstrating enormous potential. To ensure the sustainable development of green roof technology, in-depth research is still needed on plant selection in specific regions.
