Abstract
In recent years, climate change and environmental issues have become significant necessities that require prioritizing sustainable architecture practices. The purpose of this article is to examine the potential benefits of green roof systems in enhancing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. The depletion of fossil fuels and global warming triggered by human activities are among the significant environmental issues that require urgent intervention. Green roof systems offer a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to these challenges. This study aims to evaluate the impact of such applications on energy savings and environmental improvements by analyzing an example of a green roof implemented in Mosul during the post-war period. Additionally, it seeks to highlight the global significance of green roof systems by analyzing the overall effectiveness of similar implementations worldwide. The study conducted in Mosul indicates that green roof systems were proposed to improve air quality and reduce environmental pollution. As a result of the study, the goals included providing more oxygen passage, creating additional shade by utilizing sunlight, and reducing environmental pollution.
