Abstract
Light artificial soil planted with sedum is commonly used in thin green roof units today. This paper shows the effects of the percentage of water content and some meteorological data on the evapotranspiration rate in summer. From a field measurement and multivariable analysis, the evapotranspiration rate could be well estimated in the form of a nonlinear regression model in the daytime. Here, the explaining variables are the water content rate and the total solar radiation. Next we simulated the effect of watering schedule on the evapotranspiration rate with METPV meteorological data. Then the adequate watering could lead the latent heat loss equivalent to half of the total solar radiation.
