\n\t\t\t\t\tBy the term “Green Roof”,<\/strong> we mean a roof which is covered by vegetation, which grows in controlled conditions with many environmental, energy and economic benefits. Green roofs are also known as planted roofs, eco-roofs, green gardens, roof gardens etc.<\/p>\n

Since 2012, <\/strong>the new building regulation<\/strong> has mentioned for the first time the term \u2018green roof\u2019, promoting their creation and providing as additional motivation the possibility of creating main-use spaces of up to 35 m2<\/strong> (additional building coefficient).\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
