Recent Roundup: Part 3 (VIDEOS)
We’re back with the latest from around the world in the Green Roof and Green Walls space.
We’ve been busy helping our first few clients nail down the best plans possible to approach Green Roofs and Green Walls for themselves.
While the seemingly endless list of benefits from Green Roofs and Green Walls is undeniable, it’s still too early for companies to be ready to purchase Green Roofs & Walls of their own. Which is why blogs and websites such as ours are especially useful right now - where we take a good look at what’s new in our industry, globally, and without prejudice. Thank you for your support! - CEO of GROOF

“green roofs” – are directed at and depend on flat roofs as their starting point. But as Eytan Levi, co-founder of the company Roofscapes observed, in some cases four out of five buildings in a city have pitched roofs. Real Asset Insight’s Richard Betts caught up with Levi at the ULI’s recent C-Change conference where Roofscapes was recognised in the Proptech Innovation Challenge (PIC) Awards. “The premise of our work is the adaptation of heritage buildings, and in particular, the pitched roofs of heritage buildings to climate change,” he explained.

“Jörg Breuning is one of a few people on earth who actively shaped the beginning of the modern Green Roof industry in Europe/Germany more than 4 decades ago. In addition, he introduced Green Roofs to North America in 1999 and Solar Green Roofs in 2010.”
“In North America there are multimillions of acres of rooftops in commercial areas surrounding our metropolitan areas. Often contributing more stormwater runoff and heat island than the adjoining city. Green infrastructure in these commercial areas is hardly discussed. It would be more effective, efficient and target oriented to meet sustainability goals.”
