Knappe et al. (2023) modelled dual-layer (upper vegetated substrate layer and a lower retention layer separated by a distribution fleece) roof designs to investigate water balance outcomes (storage, outflow, evapotranspiration) under wet and dry climactic extremes. During extreme climate years, the roof with the largest retention volume provided more evaporative cooling and retention of heavy rainfall events without outflow in summer, leading to a more climate-resilient design.

During extreme climate years in Germany, the roof with the largest retention volume was estimated to provide more evaporative cooling and retention of heavy rainfall events without outflow in summer, leading to a more climate-resilient design.
