302 76 Innovation and development centre for green roofs N.B Slundt and M. M Haurholm DTU Building and infrastructure, Technical University of Denmark Introduction In the recent years, the planet's large cities have been challenged on many fronts i.e. the migration from rural to urban areas has never been bigger than it is today. This has led to increasing CO2 emissions, smog problems, noise pollution, rising temperatures, bigger and more frequent rainfall events. Green roofs are said to be a part of the solution to all these challenges. But are they? This project focuses on green roofs, their impact on the environment and on the structures they are installed on. The project is supported by the five biggest companies that sell or manufacture green roofs in Denmark. The goal is to ensure better roofs for better cities. Method An innovation and development centre for green roofs will be established on the DTUDiploma campus in 2016 to achieve a better understanding of green roofs solutions. In autumn 2016, six test facilities will be constructed at a site on Ballerup campus, on which different companies will install their green roof. Measuring equipment will be installed to document and demonstrate the influence the roofs have on the environment and on the structures. Conclusion The project has received great support from the industry and interest from the state and civil society. This has led to DTU granting the project innovations funds to start up the innovation and development centre at Ballerup campus, which over the next year will be passed on from graduating students to new students who can develop the centre with new initiatives. We imagine that many green solutions will eventually be developed at DTU-Diploma in close collaboration with the industry. BUILDINGS AND INFRASTRUCTURE POSTER CONCEPT BACHELOR FINAL ASSIGNMENT
