dc.description.abstractRapid population growth, urbanization, and industrialization have many negative environmental effects. These adverse effects are felt more in urban areas than in rural areas. Considering the high rate of urban development, the idea that green roof structures can be used on rooftops is important in reducing the current negative effects. In addition, water retention on these roof areas can be helpful in the face of drought periods. In this study, the amount of water that can be retained on a 100 m2 roof area in Antalya Province, Turkey was calculated. As a result, it was determined that August is the month when the least water can be retained due to rainfall. It was calculated that between 0.168 m3 and 0.363 m3 of water can be retained in August. Furthermore, the month in which the most water can be retained due to rainfall is December, and the amounts of water that can be retained are between 5.762 m3 and 21.640 m3. These calculated values are anticipated to be important in understanding how much water can be retained in the planned green roofs. In addition, it has been determined that the energy savings that can be made for heating purposes in a 100 m2 green roof area can be between 3900 kWh and 11,250 kWh.
