Rapid urbanization has taken environmental toll on the surrounding which can be witnessed by the advent of global warming and climate change. Driven by environmental needs, Green Building Index (GBI) was established in Malaysia to drive initiative to lead the property industry towards becoming more environmental friendly. Green roofs (roof with vegetated cover) as one of the assessment criteria of GBI, are gaining attention in the Malaysian society as a versatile new environmental friendly mitigation technology. This paper evaluates the qualitative and quantitative performances of an extensive green roof at Humid Tropics Centre under local tropical climate. Simulations showed that the extensive green roof system could reduce the peak discharge up to 26% in relation to impervious brown roof. Its reduction ability decreased for storms with intense rainfall. Increment of pH was observed for the green roof runoff and the runoff water quality ranged between class I and II under Water Quality Index (WQI). High concentrations of phosphate were noticed in the runoff samples and substrates (fertilized planting soil) might be the potential contributor. Findings indicate that there was a reduction of around $1.5^{\circ}C$ for indoor temperature of the building after installation of the extensive green roof.

본 연구는 현지(on-site) 빗물관리에 필요한 지붕면 누적유출용적 예측을 위한 경험식을 제안하였다. 건축물 지붕면은 좁은 면적으로 인해 기존 유출해석 기법의 적용이 어려운 것으로 파악되었으며, 지붕면 유출조건을 고려한 강우깊이(D)-누적유출용적(V)간의 이론적 관계식을 수립하였다. 2005년부터 2007년까지 2년간 실제 강우량과 지붕면의 유출용적을 측정하여 이론적 관계식으로 계산된 누적유출용적과 실측 누적유출용적 자료를 비교 검토하였다. 실측자료의 분석결과를 바탕으로 시간별 강우깊이 변화에 따른 누적유출용적을 예측할 수 있는 경험적 유출식을 얻었다. 본 경험식으로 강우관측 자료 또는 강우주상도와 지붕면의 면적으로부터 간편하게 실제에 가까운 누적유출용적의 시간별 변화를 예측할 수 있으며, 이 결과는 각종 빗물관리시설의 용량 결정은 물론, 빗물관리시설 통해 지붕면에서 도시배수관으로 유입되는 유량 변화 예측에도 활용이 가능할 것이다.

In order to examine the effect of impermeable surface (rooftop, outdoor parking lot) and rainwater infiltration facilities on runoff pH, pH was measured. pH measurement spots were splash blocks accepted roof runoff of 3 sites, infiltration boxes and trenches accepted parking lot runoff and plastic rainwater harvesting facility accepted roof runoff. These measurements were operated at 3 housing complexes from 2006 to 2009. The rainwater runoff pH was influenced by the quality of the runoff surface material (concrete), the age of the building, waterproofing methods according to each housing site, antecedent rainfall conditions and others. Rain garden, infiltration boxes and trenches decreased the alkalinity of runoff by detention and infiltrating the roof and outdoor parking lot runoff. These results mean that decentralized rainwater management facilities of housing complexes can reduce effect on the outskirt aquatic ecosystem by the accumulation of substances causing pH rising in the infiltration facilities and rain garden.

Purpose: There is a growing interest in rainwater runoff reduction effect of green roof, as flooding caused by increasing impervious surface is becoming more and more frequent in urban areas. This study was conducted to prove runoff reduction and runoff delay effect of the retentive green roof and to investigate its influencing factors to the rainfall events that occurred in the summer of 2013. Method: The experiment intended to monitor the runoff quantity of the retentive green roof($140m^2$) and normal roof($100m^2$) in #35 building in Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea for 75 days in 2013. Result: On analysis of 9 rainfall events, it showed that the retentive green roof has 24.8~100% of runoff reduction ratio, 21.2~100% of peak flow reduction ratio, 0.5~3.75 hours of peak delay, and $1.8{\sim}7.2m^3$ of retaining capacity in an area of $140m^2$. It shows different results depending on rainfall and antecedent dry days. The results show that runoff reduction effect is effective when the rainfall is less than 50 mm and antecedent dry day is longer than five days on average. By installing retentive green roofs on buildings, it can help mitigate urban floods and rehabilitate urban water cycle.

This study aimed at analyzing the runoff quality by the layer thickness and material of soil roof to make best use of the rainwater falling on it in terms of safety and efficiency and resulted in the following assessments. It turned out that the concentrations decreased more in T-N, $NO_3$-N, $NH_4$-N, T-P and $PO_4$-P in roof rainwater except 30 cm for the RW1 soil roof after passing through it than those of first rainwater. On the other hand, the concentrations in rainwater passing through gravel roof turned out to be equal or same to those of the first rainwater. As a result of analysis of metallic stuff in runoff, there was no indication of Cd, Cr, Mn and Pb as well. The concentration of Cu, Fe and Zn in rainwater through soil roof became less than that of the first rainwater. In this research, the soil roof showed the good efficiency in lowering the concentration of such components as nitrogen, phosphorus and metals. Based on the results from this work, more practical study would be required further in the future in relation to soil roof when installing the rainwater-utilizing facilities.

Green roof's performance in reducing stormwater runoff has been reported by numerous studies. Nonetheless, the roles of low growing vegetation in influencing stormwater runoff reduction on green roofs have been greatly overlooked. This paper describes an experiment investigating the influence of low growing vegetation in the reduction of tropical stormwater runoff on extensive green roofs. Three types of locally occurring native vegetation and one non-native Sedum species were selected (fern, herb, grass and succulent) for the experiment. Stormwater runoff reduction performance from different low growing species was done by measuring excess water runoff from the simulated green roof modules. The results show significant differences in stormwater runoff reduction from different types of vegetation. Fern was the most effective in reducing stormwater runoff, followed by herb, Sedum and grass. Vegetative characters that are found to attribute towards the performance of stormwater runoff are rooting density, structure, density, leaf type, and vegetation biomass.

This study aimed to evaluate the ability to reduce flood damage caused by abnormal rainfall events due to climate change by utilizing a blue-green roof (BGF), a type of rooftop greening technology. For two buildings with the same roof area, a BGF was installed in the experimental group, a general roof was configured in the control group, and rainfall runoff was compared. A total of 10 rainfall events were tested and analyzed by classifying them into three rainfall classes (less than 10 mm, less than 100 mm, and more than 100 mm). There was a reduction of 100% in the case of 10 mm or less of rainfall, 84. 7% in the case of 100 mm or less, and 39.8% in the case of 100 mm or more. Although this study showed that a BGF was effective in reducing rainfall runoff, additional experiments and analyses of various factors affecting rainfall runoff reduction are needed to generalize the results of the study. This research methodology may be used to develop a method for evaluating the resilience of a BGF to flood damage due to climate change.

각종 개발사업은 불투수층의 증가를 야기 시켜 자연적 물 순환 왜곡과 함께 비점오염물질의 유출을 증가시킨다. 개발로 인한 환경생태수리학적 영향을 저감하고 건전한 물 순환을 구축하기 위해서는 오염물질의 함량이 적은 유출유량에 대해서는 이용(use)을 고려해 볼 만하며, 오염물질의 함량이 높은 유량에 대해서는 조경공간에서 처리 후 저류, 침투 또는 증발산을 고려하여야 한다. 본 연구는 지붕빗물유출수의 상대적 오염도를 평가하여 이용가능성을 검토하고, 평균 EMC 산정을 위한 비용 효율적 적정 모니터링 기법을 제안하고자 수행되었다. 지붕유출수의 오염도는 도로와 주차장에 비해 오염물질별 3배에서 13배 정도 낮은 것으로 조사되었으며, 나뭇잎, 담배꽁초 등의 협잡물과 바람의 영향으로 인한 오염물질의 대기침적 및 옥상구조물 등이 주요 오염원인 것으로 나타났다. 비용 효율적 모니터링 기법 연구결과 평균 EMC를 보이는 시료는 유출 발생 후 약 15분 경인 것으로 나타났으며, 최소 8회 이상의 강우사상에 대한 모니터링이 수행되어야 평균 EMC를 산정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, major cities in Korea are suffering from frequent urban flooding caused by heavy rainfall. Such urban flooding mainly occurs due to the limited design capacity of the current drainage network, which increases the vulnerability of the cities to cope with intense precipitation events brought about by climate change. In other words, it can be interpreted that runoff exceeding the design capacity of the drainage network and increased impervious surfaces in the urban cities can overburden the current drainage system and cause floods. The study presents the green roof as a sustainable solution for this issue, and suggests the pre-design using the LID controls model in SWMM to establish more specific flood prevention system. In order to conduct the computer simulation in connection with Korean climate, the study used the measured precipitation data from Cheonan Station of Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and the forecasted precipitation data from RCP 8.5 scenario. As a result, Extensive Green Roof System reduced the peak runoff by 53.5% with the past storm events and by 54.9% with the future storm events. The runoff efficiency was decreased to 4% and 7%. This results can be understood that Extensive Green Roof System works effectively in reducing the peak runoff instead of reducing the total stormwater runoff.

Nowadays, stormwaters have been affected by urbanization and climate change. These transition can cause many problems for hydrologic cycle by increasing runoff volume like flood and low water quality. As with other metropolises and peninsulas, Busan has involved with these problems too. Therefore, it is really vital to do some arrangements to solve them by low impact development (LID) technology. In fact, LID has been introduced to reduce runoff by applying some techniques such as green infrastructure (GI). In order to deal with the aforementioned issues in Busan, this study attempts to design and construct a hybrid green roof-planter box system at Pusan National University GI/LID Facility based on local weather. For this purpose, we used experiment and modeling method on some planter boxes and optimized them by trial and error method.
