Tetraeder.solar - Green Roof Potential Map

• Reduction of peak discharges during heavy rainfall events
• Improvement of the microclimate
• Reduction of heat islands
• Visual improvement of the cityscape
• Thermal insulation in winter
• Reduction of heat load in summer
• Noise-reducing effect
• Savings on wastewater charges
• Filtering of air pollutants and fine dust

Climate change is causing undeniable problems in densely built-up areas and is leading to heat islands in the city and an increase in heavy rainfall and flooding. Rising levels of air pollution and particulate matter are also increasingly becoming a problem in municipalities.

Green roofs can contribute to solving these problems, but the dormant potential here is rarely known. A Green Roof Potential Map is an ideal tool for raising awareness of green roofs and their benefits.

The Green Roof Potential Map offers benefits to municipalities and regions: Filtering of air pollutants & particulate matter, reduction of heavy rain runoff, better microclimate, fewer heat islands & visual cityscape improvement through green roofs. The result is a sustainable, resilient urban landscape.
