Green stable roofs - a contribution to climate adaptation, biodiversity promotion and animal welfare
Extensive green roofs are suitable for stable roofs, runs and hall roofs on farms, as these do not require any additional structural requirements. They keep you cool on hot days, protect you from the cold in winter and, if installed correctly, require little maintenance.
In this conversation by PD Dr. Andreas Steinwidder with Dr. Wilhelm Graiss addresses many topics, from the structural requirements to the selection and types of green roofs, to practical experiences with the installation and tips for maintaining extensive stable roof greening.
