ZinCo Extensive Green Roof CLIMATE GREEN ROOF

ZinCo GmbH

Description

Maximum evaporation performance with the "climate green roof"

The sealing of areas that were once vegetation-covered is progressing steadily. This also has a significant impact on the heating of cities. As a result, global irradiation is implemented completely differently. On sealed surfaces, it can no longer be used as an engine for plant growth and thus hardly for cooling evaporation.

Characteristics of a "climate green roof"

In the case of a "climate green roof", irrigation ensures that the specially developed plant community ensures a high evaporation performance even or especially in dry, hot weather phases. The high evaporation rate has a cooling effect on the environment and thus actively influences the urban climate.

The system structure can be used on 0° roofs up to a roof pitch of approx. 5° as well as on inverted roofs.

Irrigation variants for the "climate green roof"

Rainwater management: If climate conditions and project conditions permit, water can be stored during precipitation periods and irrigation can thus take place in dry periods.

Greywater use: This has the great advantage that it is constantly available as a water resource, even in summer drought. The plants were selected in an extensive research project (funded by the German Federal Environmental Foundation) specifically with regard to their suitability for greywater irrigation.

Groundwater management: If the quality of the groundwater is suitable and it can be made economically available, this form of use is an effective way to make even larger areas evaporative.

Extensive green roof – the easy-care green variant to the gravel surface

Extensive green roofs are an ecological alternative to conventional surface protection, such as gravel. They are lightweight and have a low installation height. For extensive green roofs, we use proven plant communities that naturally cope with the site conditions found on roofs, such as sun, wind, drought, etc. An extensive green roof requires little maintenance. One or two maintenance cycles per year are usually sufficient here. This type of green roof is also suitable for sloping roofs.

Features

  • Moss-Sedum to grass-herb greening
    • Low
  • maintenance No
  • additional irrigation required Construction
  • thickness 10–20 cm
  • Weight 60–250 kg/m²

Extensive greening is carried out and operated at a relatively low cost. For example, the layer height is approx. 5–15 cm and the low weight is 60–150 kg/m², which also enables subsequent greening of existing roof surfaces without any problems. Another advantage is the manageable maintenance effort, because the plant communities of sedum, grasses and herbs used get by with natural precipitation. In addition to flat roofs, extensive greening is also suitable for pitched roofs.
