Abstract Abstract
Recently the increasing of urbanization larger number of flats, buildings apartment and hotels are establish rapidly. For that the heat is increase due to the roof of the buildings and tremendous use air condition, hot air relies to atmosphere. The temperature of the urban area gradually increase rapidly very year. As a matter of fact in temperature assessment study in urban areas cooling effect the building and their surrounding due to Urban Roof top Farming being reduces the temperature. Cooling effect in Building determines the micro-climate change and urban heat island effect. Solution of these aspects occurs by the dense of the plants grown on rooftop farming. Cultivations of worm- climatic plants on the rooftop farming provide co0oling benefits for urban inhabitance of the urban agriculture and impact of climate change in many building level. The monitoring the temperature larger the Rooftop farming reduce the temperature in the room of building and adjacent area for reducing cooling expenses of urban peoples. The measurement of temperature varies in different location of the buildings depending upon the different storied and direction of the buildings. Rooftop farming ruled out the reduction of temperature and involved in micro-climate change of the building. According to this concept the surrounding of the urban and peri-urban area directly influence by urban agriculture can be cooling effect and climate change if the urbanize. The building Converted in to land for cultivation rooftop garden, balcony garden, terrace garden. These gardens are covering the building and provide Shade which maintain cool to Building. Rooftop farming lower the temperature of room of the building .The study carried out in Bhubaneswar city of India. Measurement of temperature in different buildings with and without rooftop garden and compare the temperature which is increase or decrease.
