Research on the integration construction technology of planted roofs and self-insulated exterior wall panels

Abstract

Planted roofs have good heat preservation and insulation properties, which can effectively alleviate the urban heat island effect and reduce the energy consumption of buildings and the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. The study describes the heat transfer process of planted roofs into three parts, derives the heat transfer equations of the leaf layer, soil layer, and roof layer of planted roofs, and clarifies the calculation of relevant parameters in the model of planted roofs. Taking integrated design as the technical standard, the stereotypical design of planted roof buildings and their building parts, components, fittings, engineering equipment, etc. The insulation exterior wall panel enclosure system is standardized to realize industrialized production of wall panel components, integrated design of connection nodes, and assembly construction. The analysis results show that during the test time, the average convective heat transfer heat flow of Module H containing vegetation is a maximum of 119.21W/m2, and the total convective heat transfer heat flow of the whole day is 2835.99w/m2, which has the best thermal insulation performance. Among all the roof modules, only Module H has the heat transfer direction from outdoor to indoor throughout the day. Finally, based on the above conclusions, the self-insulated exterior wall system’s specific construction method and technology are given to provide the basis and reference for the specific construction in practice.
