| Abstract | ||||
| This study explores the role of green roofs in enhancing the thermal performance of buildings under the harsh climatic conditions of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Urbanization has significantly reduced green spaces, intensifying the urban heat island effect. Through the application of an intensive modular green roof system on Towers Square, thermal data were analyzed, showing marked improvements in thermal comfort and reduced energy consumption. The findings advocate for the widespread adoption of green roofs to promote sustainable urban development. | ||||
