Excursion green roofs

Together, we will experience 24 expert lectures and you will have the opportunity to talk with the conference participants during the evening networking. Connecting is important because by connecting we can do more for our cities and future generations.

Green roofs, green facades and other green-blue measures have many benefits that help us adapt our cities to changed climate conditions. Every year we experience extreme drought, heat, or torrential rains. Vegetation roofs help cool heat islands in cities, retain rainwater so that it does not flow into the sewers, increase biodiversity, or create new living spaces in administrative or business centers. They are also excellently combined with photovoltaics and improve their efficiency.

In order for green roofs to work for a long time and fulfill their function, it is necessary that they be installed in the right way. Therefore, the Association for Green Roofs has issued Standards for the design, implementation and maintenance of green roofs.
