Abstract
During the measurement campaign a total of 60 and 52 dew events were observed on the bitumen roof and the green roof, respectively. At both urban sites the number of dewfall events was distinctly smaller compared to the rural site (94 events). Roof dewfall turned out to be a negligible source in the green roof water balance compared to precipitation amounts. Inhibited dewfall on roofs could be one important factor for the phenomenon of urban moisture excess since roofs represent a high fraction of urban surfaces.
