1 Green Roofs a Scandinavian perspective Bent C. Braskerud Green Roofs - Part of Scotland s sustainable future 2011 Mars 31 og Framtidens byers workshop om Grønne tak 29. november 2011

2 Green roof examples in Norway, Sweden and Denmark Historic view Modern green roofs Peat grass contra sedum Green roof and stormwater Green roofs as a BMP in a stormwater strategy BMPs and the local community

3 The way the Vikings made houses Peat and grass on timber and birch bark Photo: Dylan Kereluk Illustration of Arkikon

4 From old Norwegian farms to cottages in the mountains

5 Modern use of peat for green roofing Nittedal torvindustri sells peat for m 2 roofs/yr

6 Modern green roofs Sweden Keeps more than 50 % of the annual precipitation Germany 8 mill. m2/yr 0.1 m 2 /German Sedum-species often used

7 Peat roofs contra sedum roofs 7

8 Peat roofs contra sedum roofs Artificial precipitation: 52 mm in one hour Runoff from roof (mm) Runoff from roof Peat Peat Black roof Wmax = maximum watercontnet compared to dry matter Sedum: 302 % Peat: 978 % [email protected] Hours from start 8

9 Grønne tak Peat roofs contra sedum roofs Artificial precipitation: 52 mm in one hour, then drainage Runoff from roof (mm/2 min.) Black roof Peat Peat Wmax = maximum watercontnet compared to dry matter Sedum: 302 % Peat: 978 % [email protected] Hours from start 9

10 Modern use of peat for green roofing Peat has a very large water holding capacity Suitable for roof gardening It oxidizes to CO 2 and H 2 O Peat recourses is only slowly renewable Grass needs irrigation if the summer is dry Is the total positive effect of peat > than the negative?

11 Modern green roofs Sweden Keeps more than 50 % of the annual precipitation Germany What about cold climate? Sedum-species often used

12 Tools for a rough climate 30 Mars 2011 Green roof
