Smart Roof 2.0, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Het zwart bitumineus dak van gebouw 002 op Marineterrein Amsterdam is omgevormd tot groene oase die zorgt voor verkoeling. Op dit Smart Roof 2.0 groeien tientallen soorten planten in een lichtgewicht blauw-groen dak. De drainagelaag vangt regenwater op. Vanuit deze opslag wordt het hergebruikt voor bewatering van de beplanting. Dit gaat via een haarvatenstelsel: capillaire irrigatie. De vele sensoren meten de verdamping om zo wetenschappelijk te kunnen onderbouwen wat de daadwerkelijke verkoelende capaciteit van blauw-groene daken in steden is.
