Ecological climate compensation
Our systems for optimal green roofs make an important contribution to climate compensation. As a recognized measure of the intervention compensation regulation, green roofs offer new habitats for people, plants and animals. The high storage capacity and evaporation of precipitation on the roof relieves the burden on the sewage system, especially during heavy rainfall.
At the same time, the green roof efficiently cools both the surroundings and the building and also contributes to air humidification and fine dust filtration. As protection against extreme temperatures or hail, the green roof also extends the service life of the roof waterproofing.
Research and development - From a hidden champion for the world
Example of rainwater management
State-of-the-art expertise, updates on changes to directives/standards - we ensure that the latest findings for implementation reach the market. One example: our sustainable and intelligent rainwater management using the innovative Smart Flow Control. This keeps the ideal amount of water on the roof at all times and ensures a balanced water balance. Another example: by using Recyclatt, we are able to reduce CO2 emissions.
Company history
50 years are behind us - the best lies ahead of us
Preserving nature, especially in a modern urban environment, was the idea behind our green roofs from the very beginning. At that time, climate change was not yet a public issue. During this time, we have of course also developed further. From a small team, we have grown into a company with around 160 employees. And so in 2023, thanks to the tremendous commitment of our entire team, we were able to ensure that around 5 million m² of roof areas were extensively or intensively greened on almost 9,000 construction projects. Another contribution from Optigrün to making cities liveable again.
