The JUSTROOF project and the green roof will operate for demonstration purposes as well as an experimental facility by carrying out measurements and collecting weather data (temperature, precipitation, humidity, etc.) and parameters such as soil moisture on a continuous basis in the building with the green roof as well as in another building without a green roof for comparison purposes.

The aim of the project is to demonstrate how green infrastructure projects such as green roofs can be installed in an urban environment and upgrade it. Such projects show the multiple benefits for the people living in these areas which may be economic, environmental or social. Through our project we intend to provide information and an actual example for the purpose of raising awareness among the public and stakeholders.

The project was implemented in collaboration with the BabylonGardens company utilizing the technology it has developed and based on the relevant patent. This technology ensures the lowest weight per sq.m. planted roof and the least need for water, thus making it particularly suitable for the Mediterranean climate and the conditions of Crete.
