GREEN ROOF OF MY SCHOOL

The project idea contributes to energy efficiency, pollution reduction, climate change adaptation, durability of materials, and an extended life cycle through the greening of school roofs in the City Municipality of Stari grad in Belgrade. The solution involves the construction and installation of the green roof on the terrace of the elementary school “Drinka Pavlović”, with high potential for replication on other school buildings across the city.

The construction of green roofs increases the percentage of greenery in the central urban municipality and reduces the runoff of storm water because greenery and soil absorb it. The roofs last longer because their exposure to high temperatures and water is reduced, and the insulation of the schools is also ensured. The return on investment is fast, and in addition to economic savings on energy consumption for cooling and heating, it includes the preservation of resources, protection of the environment, and reduction of the urban heat island effect. Finally, this green roof will have a strong educational component and benefit. This initiative is co-financed by 25,000 US $.
