Abstract
This paper describes the design, instrumentation, and data collection techniques developed for a research program to study model green roof performance as a pre-cursor to the design of a full-scale instrumented green roof. A model rubber roof and an instrumented non-vegetated model green roof were constructed and placed on the roof of the Pupin Building at Columbia University, New York City. Meteorological data and data pertaining to the storm water detention performance of the roofs were collected. Examples of these data, along with data describing the temperature and volumetric water content profile through the model green roof, are reported.
