Experts’ opinions were evaluated according to priority of criteria and strategies. Then the final priority of strategies was acquired through the results. This model was used to evaluate the efficiency in providing the optimal strategies of green roofs. In this field, obstacles are as follows: different settlement costs, lack of vision as a solution for environmental approach, low cost of energy carriers, as well as the lack of codified standards, normative incompatibility, lack of local green roof industry, and finally applications researches In this context, along with the absence of economic plans, lack of subjective and objective knowledge of green roofs benefits in the minds of citizens including administrative standards and strategies against the development of green roofs.
