TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of the thermal properties and energy performance of the green roof was carried out in two phases: during the first phase, extended surface and air temperature measurements were taken at the indoor and outdoor environment of the buildings where the green roofs had installed and during the second phase of the study, the thermal and energy saving were examined, through a mathematical approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a literature review addressing the public acceptance of renewable energy as a replacement for fossil fuels in electricity production and identify the parameters that influence consumers' energy behavior, together with their interest, or lack thereof, in the environmental impact of using fossil fuels to produce energy and their willingness to reduce it.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation and analysis of the energy and environmental performance of a green roof system installed in a nursery school building in Athens is presented and analyzed, while in the second one the energy savings were examined through a mathematical approach by calculating both the cooling and heating load for the whole building as well as for its top floor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with two methods for modeling and estimating the daily and annual variation of soil surface temperature, which is an important factor for calculating the thermal performance of buildings in direct contact with the soil as well as for predicting the efficiency of earthto-air heat exchangers.

TL;DR: In this article, a complete model is used for the prediction of the daily and annual variation of ground surface temperature, based on the transient heat conduction differential equation using as boundary condition the energy balance equation at the ground surface.
