Optigrün Retention roof flow control intensive

Optigrün

The connection between intensive green roofs and the sponge city concept is actually quite simple: a green roof creates many small storage spaces for water. Precipitation is retained and stays where it falls. Intensive green roofs also delay evaporation. The sponge city therefore absorbs water and releases it again with a delay. This improves the urban climate.
