Constructed Wetlands on Roofs as a Module of Sanitary Environmental Engeneering to Improve Urban Climate and Benefit of the On Site Thermal Effects
Keywords:
roof garden, storm- and rainwater management, sustainable water use, Urban climateAbstract
Research Projects and own research show high potential of Roof Gardens for water retention, water purification ability and on Site Thermal effects. Constructed wetlands as a part of sanitarty environmental management help to balance intense rainfalls and improve insulation of buildings while increasing air humidity and lowering air temperature in dense Urban areas.
