Smartroof 2.0 at National Delta Congress 2018

Over the last two years KWR, in collaboration with partners within TKI Water Technology, has carried out research in Amsterdam’s Marineterrein on the blue-green roof known as Project Smartroof 2.0. The blue-green roof captures rainwater, stores the water and then reuses it through the transpiration of various plants, thereby helping to cool the city on warm summer days. Sensors measure and regulate the water management and the vegetation’s exact transpiration levels. KWR’s research results into the hydrological and energy operations of the blue-green roof were recently published, and will be presented at the National Delta Congress 2018 in Zwolle (stand 8 on the Deltaparade).
