Green facades and green roofs: climate protection and cost advantages

Green facades and green roofs improve the urban climate, promote biodiversity and filter pollutants. Green roofs store rainwater and reduce energy costs through better insulation.

These measures increase the value of the building in the long term, reduce operating costs and strengthen the sustainable image.

Green facades are an innovative solution for improving the urban climate. They reduce temperatures in urban areas because plants provide shade and regulate the microclimate. In addition, green facades filter pollutants from the air and increase humidity, which contributes to better air quality. This measure not only creates aesthetic benefits, but also promotes biodiversity.

Green roofs offer numerous ecological benefits for parking garages. They can retain up to 50% of rainwater, which relieves the burden on the sewer system and minimizes the risk of flooding. They also act as a habitat for plants and animals, which helps promote biodiversity. Green roofs improve thermal insulation and reduce energy consumption, which saves costs in the long term.

Investing in green facades and green roofs can pay off financially. In the long term, they reduce operating costs through reduced energy costs and lower maintenance requirements. They also increase the value of the building and make it more attractive to tenants and users. Companies that rely on sustainable building practices also benefit from a positive image, which strengthens their competitiveness.
