The water storage capacity of a green roof forms several benefits for the building and its environment. The hydrologic performance is traditionally expressed by the runou coefficient, according to international guidelines and standards. The runoff coefficient is a dimensionless coefficient relating the amount of runoff to the amount of precipitation received. It is a larger value for areas with low infiltration and high runoff (pavement, steep gradient), and lower for permeable, well vegetated areas (forest, flat land). The paper is presenting 3 experimental stands of green roofs. Each stand is unique in terms of its construction. The aim of this paper is to highlight how green roof responds to real clima events. The experiment provides mathematical graphs and behaviour of the geen roof stands from 03/2019 to 01/2021.
