The Execution of a Green Roof Design. Analysis Assessment Concept and Design

Wissenschaftliche Studie aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Landschaftsarchitektur Landespflege Gartenbau Sprache: Deutsch Abstract: This paper presents a green roof design where the client requires a specially engineered rooftop that supports plant life measuring 37m by 44m. They requested a rooftop with a thin layer of low-growing herbaceous plants that require low maintenance thus an extensive green roof. The roof had to be a multi-layered build up consisting of a protection fleece layer and a recycled filter fleece under a loose blend of organic and mineral substrate under a planted sedum vegetation. Given the Australian climate the plants should be densely spaced and able to live in meager soil and also survive exposure to cold heat and wind.
