I am looking for info on construction and viability of adding a green
roof to a house in the Yucatan, Mexico.
It is a very hot, low-lying, sometimes rainy area.
New construction tends toward block and precast; both of which are
terrible there; they quickly absorb heat, but do not hold it.
What sort of soil mixture would I need there?
How strong does the roof need to be?
Sealant?
Got to remember that the building trades there are often rudimentary.
(Similar climate to parts of India)
