About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

We present the green roof as an important part of a building that contributes to the quality of life in urban environments. A cost analysis of a green flat roof and a conventional flat roof is highlighted. It was found that the construction of a green roof is approximately 35-45% more expensive, but when considering its ** environmental impacts, lifespan and additional thermal insulation**, it is economically justified. Given the environmental challenges in the Republic of Slovenia and experiences from abroad, we conclude that planned construction of green roofs in urban neighbourhoods as well as in rural areas is appropriate.
