Abstrakt: Installation of green roofs in bus stops can minimize the negative impact of urban development. Green roofs are normally used to manage stormwater runoff, heat transfer, and enhance aesthetics. However, the standardized design guidelines for green roofs installed on bus stops are currently not available in Malaysia. The green roof designs produced in Malaysia are largely based on the design guidelines from other countries. It was found that some green roof design elements were not suitable to be used in this country since the green roof technology adoption is still in the early stages. Moving forward, further understanding of the green roof technology needs to be attained, and there is a need to adapt the green roof design standards exist in other countries to the Malaysian environment. The purpose of this paper is to review the available green roof design standards, and to highlight the advantages and challenges of installing green roofs in bus stops. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
