SUMMARY:

The accelerated urbanization process in metropolises without adequate urban planning causes changes in the environment in urbanized areas, generating an increase in impermeable surfaces by the application of asphalt and synthetic materials, causing environmental phenomena in heat islands, in addition to an increase in the risk of flooding and the degradation of the water quality of water bodies present in urban areas. Green and ecological roofs stand out as a mitigation measure and a reduction in the increase in surface temperature in large urban centers, and in flooding problems in cities. The application of this technology associated with the principles of sustainability from the reuse and application of non-biodegradable materials, such as plastic materials from urban solid waste, maximizes the environmental benefits generated. So, this study aimed to analyze the thermal performance of the implementation of three prototypes, being an ecological roof, composed of reused materials, a green roof, and a conventional roof. The experimental unit is located in the city of Recife, in the University City, the data collected under each coverage in the period from April 2021 to June 2021 were analyzed. Data analysis technique was applied through electronic programming, using the Python language with the application of frameworks, and descriptive statistical analysis using the “Jupiter Notebook” and “Excel” software and platforms. The results highlighted that in the scope of the reduction of the internal ambient temperature, the green roof presented better performances than the ecological roof (Arrangements 1, 2 and 3), since the ecological one had the greatest potential for thermal conservation. The ecological roof (arrangement 1) stood out for reducing the temperature inside the environment by up to 4.49% when compared to the maximum outside temperature. The application of the ecological roof demonstrated conservation of the internal temperature of the environment under the roof, showing benefits in reducing the relative humidity of the air, especially on days when extreme rainfall events occurred.
