History
Although architects, landscape designers and building engineers have been designing and building
green roofs in Dhaka, Bangladesh, there is a dearth of evidence based research regarding the best practices of setting
design parameters, available solution types and performance. Based on the descriptive survey method, this study
identifies three basic types of green roofs. The common construction and use related design parameters used by the
local practitioners were identified. The three types of green roofs are compared on the basis of their performance against
these design parameters. It was concluded that further research, proper policies and research based development in the
practice is necessary to materialize the true potential of green roofs and roof top gardening in Dhaka which will address
the UN sustainable development goals.Full Time Faculty Assistant Professor. M.ARCH, WASHINGTON UNI. IN ST LOUIS, USA
