| description | This review was conducted to study the design of green roof using coco-peat as substrate.
Generally, the green roof concept was implemented to support plant growth while also giving
aesthetic, environmental, and economic benefits. It has been around for over a century and
have become one of the most important components in urban areas in recent decades. Green
roof is categorized into three parts which is intensive, semi-intensive and extensive. Meanwhile,
coco peat is an organic and renewable substrate processed from coconut shells. It has good
planting performance and reusable. It is mostly used as a substrate because of its high Water
Holding Capacity up to 100% , Air-Filled Porosity (13%) and Bulk Density of 0.08g/cm3. The
objectives of this study are to determine the effectiveness of coco-peat as substrate on green
roof for the attenuation of stormwater and reducing peak flow. Next, to examine the
effectiveness of coco peat as substrate in improving stormwater quality. Therefore, most of the
articles reviewed is focused on topic of green roof substrate. The review conducted proved that
coco peat is effective to attenuate stormwater and reducing peak flow as it has high Water
Holding Capacity to retain stormwater up to 100%. It was also proved that by using coco peat
as substrate can improve stormwater quality as it able to remove heavy metals and pollutants
by adsorption up to 99% removal rate. Lastly, it is also an organic matter and renewable
substrates, so coco peat is a sustainable to be used for green roof technology as it can easily
accessible in some countries for example Malaysia. |
