Abstract
This work analyzes the thermal effect of extensive green roofs (EGR), in different climatic conditions of eight
cities in Mexico. A house is simulated and temperature, comfort sensation and air conditioning energy consumption are
analyzed. The results show that the extensive green roof helps to decrease the maximum interior temperature, especially in
the rooms located on the upper floor, where greater energy saving for air conditioning (cooling) is also observed. In all the
cases studied, EGRs contribute to achieve thermal comfort conditions; in fact, their implementation under some climatic
conditions avoids the use of air conditioning.
