| Content Summary | The present paper aims to fully summarize the current scientific and technological experience focusing on the comparative characteristics of roof pond variants. The design guidelines and pond characteristics provide the opportunity to make the proper decision of a roof pond variant for cooling purposes. The following systems are under detailed investigation: covered/uncovered pond with/without sprays, skytherm, energy roof, coolroof, walkable pond, wet gunny bags, cool-pool shaded and ventilated pond. A brief background of the motivation behind the creation of the above variants is provided. The advantages and disadvantages of ponds as well as the design considerations and state of the art are discussed. Additionally, in the present study a detailed comparison is performed in terms of effectiveness and cooling demand reduction. A complete set of criteria affecting the choice of the proper roof pond are also analyzed. Finally, a decision support flowchart, is provided based on the various criteria and parameters. | en |
