Abstract

Biodiversity of Dutch cities is degreasing with troublesome rate. A green roof system implemented on pitched roofs can improve biodiversity. This roof system consists of a lightweight roof tile, a planter, breeding box for birds, and insect hotel. A 1:1 test is performed to gain knowledge about the performance of this system and growth of plants.
