     This study conducts a green roof (GR) experiment and verifies the self-developed hydrological model for outflow (QGR) and EnergyPlus for indoor-temperature simulation, to examine the effect of GR on stormwater detention and temperature regulation. Then, sensitivity analysis helps to clarify the influence of modifying the design characteristics of GR on their hydrological and thermal performance.
