Green Roof Living Laboratory for Research and Learning
Faculty of Engineering at Sriracha , Sriracha Campus
Details
The university converted a main academic building's roof into a “living laboratory,” a green roof combining native and light economic plants with rainwater harvesting and sensors for moisture, temperature, and carbon sequestration tracking.
Students from multiple faculties used the site as a field classroom on urban heat island mitigation, stormwater management, and sustainable roof-plant care. Research compared conventional versus green roofs on metrics like indoor temperatures, runoff volumes, and carbon sequestration rates.
First-year results showed average indoor temperature reductions of 3.5°C, stormwater runoff reductions of 27%, and carbon sequestration increases averaging 0.8 tons per 100 m² per year. The site became a hub for sustainability learning, advancing SDG 11 and SDG 13.
