Green Roofs
Design the roof as a useful landscape, considering water, planting, biodiversity and management.
01
From roof structure to living layer
Selection starts with structure, loading capacity, waterproofing, root protection, drainage and access. Match growing medium, planting and uses to the building.
02
Design water and maintenance together
Define water management, drainage and inspection access. Irrigation and maintenance belong in the design choice and a management plan.
03
Evidence for each roof
Retention, cooling and ecological development depend on the system, weather and use. Performance information must refer to the design, source and measurement period.
