Focus
In-terrain parking garages, typically covered with concrete and asphalt, intensify the effects of the urban heat island, affecting the local climate, energy consumption, and residents’ well-being.
Drainroof and Completa offer sustainable solutions by transforming garage roofs into extensive and intensive green areas, providing multiple benefits to the surrounding environment:
- Urban heat island mitigation – green areas reduce the amount of heat absorbed and emitted by the garage roof structure, lowering the outside temperature,
- Energy efficiency – soil and plants act as natural insulators, reducing the need for cooling in summer and heating in winter,
- Reduced flooding – soil retains rainwater, while perforated Drainroof and Completa trays provide drainage, improving rainwater management,
- Environmental benefits – green areas enhance local biodiversity and absorb pollutants, improving the air quality in urban areas,
- Aesthetic value – the unattractive concrete roofs are transformed into vibrant urban areas, enhancing the visual appeal of the surroundings,
- Social benefits – green and recreational spaces promote community interaction and improve the social well-being of the residents,
- Economic benefits – improved energy efficiency, sustainability, and living comfort lead to increased property values.
Completa creates extensive green roofs with Sedum and Mesembryanthemum on slopes of up to 10%, using modular trays pre-filled with soil and plants. These roofs are low-maintenance, requiring fertilization only twice a year, with no need for irrigation.
Drainroof creates extensive green roofs with sedum and grass, as well as high load-bearing intensive roof gardens on up to 20 % slopes. These roofs can be equipped with irrigation systems, urban furniture, and trees, providing vibrant urban gardens.
