New generation of lightweight green roof intensive and extensive substrates from Jiffy

摘要

An enormous increase in the number of green roofs can seen across the world. The increase in the construction of green roofs is not just a coincidence. There are many positive things to say about the benefits of green roofs. Jiffy Products developed roof garden substrates that are characterized by their light weight in combination with other favourable characteristics, such as a high water buffer capacity. What are so many more green roofs being constructed and why do so many municipalities make subsidies available for their construction? The reasons for building a green roof fall under three motivations. In the market, these motives are categorized under the "three E's".
