Indoor heat stress and cooling energy comparison between green roof (GR) and non-green roof (n-GR) by simulations for labor intensive factories in the tropics

This study is based on labor intensive factory, located in Dhaka, Bangladesh which was adversely impacted due to extreme hot conditions. The analysis started with the implementation of green roof (GR) as one of the passive design strategies to reduce indoor heat stress. Impact of indoor heat stress indicated by wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) and prediction of heat strain (PHS) model for green roof have been evaluated through numerical studies...
