Building Envelope Stage
Green roofs are evolving into biodiverse, site-specific habitats that deliver measurable benefits for climate resilience, urban cooling, water management and nature recovery. This panel will explore the technical and practical considerations of designing, specifying and maintaining roofs that respond to local vernaculars, support Biodiversity Net Gain objectives and function as genuine nature-based solutions rather than compliance measures. Through real project examples, the discussion will examine substrate design, planting strategies, structural requirements and long-term performance, giving architects, contractors and clients practical guidance on creating green roofs that work for both buildings and biodiversity.
