Green roofs are a favourable solution both from an ecological and a technical point of view. The permanent loads arising from the vegetation layer, usually represent only small additional loads compared to the normal paving slab or a gravel-ballasted flat roof loads of a traditional terrace. Nature, in return, offers the following additional benefits
- reduced load on the rainwater drainage system
- better heat balance on the roof
- excellent microclimate
- considerable carbon dioxide binding ability.
