Urban Climate Resilience in the Making
Imagine the incredible transformation our cities can undergo as we discover innovative ways to enhance their comfort and livability in response to the changing climate. By revolutionizing our water management systems, optimizing the energy efficiency of our buildings, introducing more green urban spaces, and nurturing urban biodiversity, we have the power to shape the cities of tomorrow. These cities will be vibrant spaces where we can not only survive but truly thrive.
The headline Crafting liveable cities for the future
Significant challenges need smart solutions to overcome. But by embracing effective technologies like smart blue-green roofs, we can overcome them. We can and we must,adapt to our rapidly changing world. A smart-blue-green roof offers a solution that can deliver effective water management and more. It is the kind of technology that will become increasingly important in the near future, as our climate changes and our cities evolve.
How does the Wavin PolderRoof work?
The PolderRoof transforms flat roofs in existing or new buildings into intelligent and controlled water reservoirs with integrated irrigation function. Consisting of a horizontal attenuation layer, sensors for water levels and weather conditions, and a platform with access to weather forecasts and with hyperlocal rain data reconciliation, the system decides how best to deal with rainwater.The aim is to work toward a positive water balance; to store and make available as much water as possible and necessary for plants, but also for evaporation, building cooling, or water reuse, especially during the growing season.
In times of more frequent water shortages and drought, the roof storage can also be actively replenished via another - ideally sustainable - water resource, always making the smartest decision for the most sustainable use of water. With its advanced technology, the PolderRoof contributes to improving biodiversity, urban climate resilience and building efficiency, and forms an indispensable foundation for any type of flat roof - whether green roof, roof garden or solar roof.
