Big Ideas for a Small Planet (Sundance Channel)

Sundance TV

Sundance TV (channel) introduces exceptional talents with an uncanny knack for making places environmentally friendly and our planet greener.

Jörg Breuning, Green Roof Technology collaborates with world-renowned architectural firms, with local design talents, and with installation companies realizing a shared vision for new neighborhoods within our dense developments. The idea of open-minded collaborations inspires our design approaches.

In collaboration with Sundance TV all the benefits of Green Roofs are explained in a wonderful 10 minutes Green Roof video. This is one of our most exciting collaboration.

The most Green Roofs in the world!

Enjoy the world's highest density of Green Roofs in a 3 min. movie. Because this Green Roof videos will demonstrate how cities can look like.

Stuttgart, Germany is the capital of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Stuttgart has over 200 million square feet of Green Roofs in a radius of 20 miles around the city center (2019). Therefore Stuttgart is the world's record holder for more than three decades. As a matter of fact, for locals Green Roofs a standard feature of a structure. Basically as normal for a building as having windows.

In this Green Roof video Jörg Breuning presents a selection of reference projects. All were installed around 15-50 years ago. Altogether they create a unique step stone environment. Especially you find great mixtures of Green Roofs that are combined with Solar, Green Walls, and Rooftop Gardens.


 

Green Roof Installation

Building a Green Roof in Four Steps 

One of the the first Green Roof Installation videos in the USA

At a time where digital movie making was just getting easy available, we took the opportunity to create Green Roof Installation videos. This is Swarthmore College and we appreciate their full support with cutting and text.

KLIMA ROOF is the world’s first monolithic platform-based Green Roof, Blue Roof, and Solar Garden Roof system. In other words, KLIMA ROOF is a flexible system with only a few components to realize any Green Roof type. Furthermore the smart system allows seamless transitions with any design intent.

Basically smooth transitions from extensive Living Roofs to intensive Garden Roofs. The result is a resilient solution with high user experience and unmatched natural biodiversity.

Klima Roof Green Roofs are an invention and innovation from Green Roof Technology. Specifically engineered for any CLIMATE ZONE on earth because of its natural water preserving features. Altogether installation professionals appreciate the reducing of different components and the unmatched protection for roofing systems.

KLIMA ROOF evolved over a decade to ensure healthy, diverse, and resilient vegetation on structures. In essence, Klima Roof is engineered for young Green Roofs markets like North America, United Kingdom, Middle East, and Far East.


 

solar Green Roof

Solar Garden Roofs or Solar Green Roofs

SolarGardenRoofs, Solar Green Roofs, BioSolar

Solar Garden Roofs or Solar Green Roofs are solutions where living green meets renewable energy. Because both technologies are seamlessly integrated they and result in synergistic booster effects for Green Roofs and Solar systems.

In fact Green Roof Technology introduced Solar Garden RoofsSolar Green Roofs to North America in 2009 and developed the technology further. Consequently we perfected a technology that improves the benefits for plants and PV modules at any size of ground disconnected location. Furthermore our design solutions also allow the integration of micro windmills.

Info/Definition:
Solar Garden Roofs or Solar Green Roofs are often called Bio-Solar. This is misleading because the term Bio-Solar comes from Biological Photovoltaic. This is an energy-generating technology that uses oxygenic photoautotrophic organisms to harvest light energy and produce electrical power. In fact a technology comparing to living fuel cell. Generally speaking a technology for the future with potential on roofs. Today, we like to keep these terms separated. This avoids confusing and misinterpretation.


 

Green Roof Sailing Around The World For Over 15 Years

Green Roofs Sailing Around The World

Real Grass on Cruise Ships doesn't necessarily make these ship greener from an environmental perspective. However, most innovations in the Cruise Ship industry are driver for more environmentally friendly practices on land. This happens more often than most of us think.

Because customer experience is their highest priority, it makes sense to demonstrate ecological innovations where many people can see it. Actually in this case they also can feel it between their toes.
As a fact the cruise ship industry seems to work harder on environmentally friendly solutions because it more in the focus of media. However, if we would look into the recreational industry on land, we would see the entire picture.

Celebrity Cruises operates 5 (five) cruise ships for over 10 years with around 50,000sf of real grass combined. Because the "LawnClub" demonstrated resilience in all climate zone on earth it is a smart Green Roof solution tailored by Green Roof Technology.

We are exceptional proud to be the inventor behind the top ten attraction in the cruise ship industry over 10 consecutive years.


 

Heat Island Effect and Hospitals in USA versus Germany

Heat Island Effect

Hospitals in USA versus Germany

Heat Island Effect - Hospitals USA v.s. Germany

The Importance of Green Spaces in Combatting Heat Island Effect
It is scientifically proven that there is a relationship between heat in urban areas and our health. A.k.a Heat Island Effect also exacerbates air pollution, leading to serious respiratory problems and other health issues. Green Infrastructure like Green Roofs or Solar Green Roofs can substantially reduce the Heat Island Effect.
One would think that in developed countries hospitals would lead with green infrastructure. However, our observational research with google earth revealed that Hospitals in North America are the worst from an environmental foot print perspective. Actually their extensive parking lots, massive buildings, and lack of natural greenery can make things worse for cities and patients.
Many Hospitals in North America have LEED® certifications despite the fact of being an environmental nightmare.
