This inclusion will allow a complete and proper application of the LCA methodology to achieve an environmental accounting of the “green roof” performance. We have here chosen to approach the problem by analysing a specific substrate, that is used within an actual extensive green roof.

In this manner, we achieved an environmental accounting of the “green roof” pe…

For adolescents, the transition from comprehensive school to post-comprehensive education is one of the most important in this life phase.
