, Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Muelheim an der Ruhr - Flat roof with green roofs. Extensive roof greening with low-growing plants such as grasses and sedum plants, which are largely self-sustaining without maintenance. They are well adapted to the extreme site conditions on the roof, extreme temperatures, frost, wind, heat, sun and little water. The roof vegetation insulates in winter and serves as heat protection in summer, thus contributing to energy savings and strengthening the urban climate resilience as a natural air conditioning system. Greenery promotes biodiversity and helps to mitigate urban warming caused by climate change.
