Did you know that green roofs not only improve the climate of a building but can also contribute to reducing energy costs and extending the lifespan of roofs?
Green roofs create a more comfortable building climate by reducing the need for heating and cooling energy. They also protect the roof membrane from weather influences, potentially doubling the lifespan of roofs. Additionally, they store rainwater, which evaporates more slowly, and promote biodiversity by providing a habitat for insects, which is often lacking in urban areas. Despite these numerous benefits, there are currently no comprehensive and spatially differentiated maps of green roofs. Our solution fills this gap by offering precise and automated detection of green roofs.
