Abstract
⺠Scarce literature investigates the technical-economical feasibility of green roofs. ⺠This paper provides a wide analysis of their energy/economical performances. ⺠The amount of required irrigation is a key node in order to achieve benefits. ⺠In cold climates, green-roofs allow good performances, both in summer and winter. ⺠In warm climates, green roofs are not advantageous for well-insulated buildings.
