• Abstract:

  Green roofs are small gardens or orchards that are adapted to the roofs of houses, companies, shops and buildings, with the purpose of reducing the temperature and humidity inside the place. Among the benefits provided by the implementation of green roofs is the reduction of carbon dioxide, creating microenvironments for insects and small birds, reducing energy consumption and reducing the heat island effect of cities. In this research, the design and simulation of a house with one room was carried out in SolidWorks software. Likewise, 2 prototypes of houses were built at a 1:10 scale and were instrumented with humidity and temperature sensors (Dht11), to compare the temperature and humidity variables with the implementation of an extensive green roof, a flat concrete roof. and a modular green roof, taking data every 5 minutes during the month of May. The three models used were installed in the back of the renewable energy workshop of the TecNM Campus Progreso to compare the temperature and humidity of the models in environmental conditions. The extensive and modular green roof prototype achieved a temperature reduction of 17.85 and 10.90% with respect to the flat concrete roof prototype and a reduction of 8.64% with respect to the average outdoor temperature for the month of May in the municipality of Progreso Yucatán.
