Research Green Roof
The UFZ Research Green Roof contributes to the interdisciplinary answering of current questions on the optimised effect of green roofs in urban areas. The focus of research on the research green roof is on upgrading urban green roofs for rainwater management and improving inner-city microclimates. The infrastructure is located on building 7.1 and consists of four roof segments, each with an area of approximately 80 m2: an extensive green roof, a simple intensive green roof, a wetland roof and a gravel area that serves as a reference. All roof segments were equipped with the necessary measuring technology for balancing rainwater and energies.
The following research questions are currently being explored:
- How can different green roof types be used for rainwater and microclimate management?
- What influence do green roofs have on urban biodiversity?
- Can green roofs serve as a sink for urban pollutants?
