Resumo(s)
This study examines how extensive green roofs impact the sizing of the rainwater drainage system for a metalworking building in northeastern Portugal. If the roof, measuring approximately 4,700 m², is constructed of sheet metal, the calculated flow rate that must be drained is 5,860.51 L/min. In contrast, if the roof is green and extensive, the calculated flow rate drops to 3,255.84 L/min. This represents a 44.44% retention of rainwater, which necessitates changes in the components of the drainage system. Additionally, the green roof delays the release of unretained water into the urban drainage system, thereby contributing to sustainable urban drainage and helping to mitigate urban flooding.
