The study, led by UTS researchers Peter Irga, Fraser Torpy and Robert Fleck set out to measure the advantages of green roofs in cities, and was supported by Lendlease and Junglefy.
Undertaken in Barangaroo in central Sydney, the researchers compared the conventional photovoltaic (PV) solar system on International House with a combined PV solar and integrated Junglefy green roof system (biosolar roof) on Daramu House over an eight-month period that spanned summer and winter.
