The overall goal of this study is to evaluate green roof, itsforms and required details in the design of the roofs, the advantages and disadvantages of each of demand finally evaluate the executable systems in different climates. In this study, the qualitative methods has been selected to achieve better results and during study, library researches including books, papers, articles and etc. has been used to provide proper solutions
