Different geographical locations and different climates provide different benefits to adding a green roof. The research question is whether a green roof's purpose and efficacy is affected by different climates, or even same climates but different geographical locations. The independent variables that must be considered are climate and location, which are relevant from the standpoint of policies that drive adoption. The method is a literature analysis/meta-analysis in which similar studies are compared/contrasted with respect to their findings. The outcome is a determination of (a) whether there are differences; and (b) possible factors influencing those differences. The impact will be to (a) understand the factors influencing policy planning, and (b) develop policies to encourage the diffusion of this technology in locations and contexts where it will be most effective.
