Title:

Analyzing the Efficiency of The James Hall Green Roof

The Green Roof Project utilizes the planters found on the roof of James Hall. Our main interest lies in the benefits the Green Roof provides the building, which are: It helps stormwater inflow, and it helps regulate the temperatures inside the building. Being really dependent on the weather, we use a variety of measuring instruments and store the data recorded to get an idea of to what extent the advantages really are true or if they are just myth. We deployed temperature sensors, soil moisture sensors, a rain gauge, and a load cell for our primary data collection, all put on a small microcontroller which we also coded for. Beyond our perspective for this project and beyond our findings, we believe that the Green Roof could have other positives, drawbacks, or trade-offs that we did not take into account. We also believe in further research on the Green Roof before putting down a verdict of its efficacy.
