Hoewel je ze vanaf de straat niet altijd goed kunt zien zijn ze wel hard nodig voor de leefbaarheid van dorpen en steden: ze vangen regenwater op, zorgen voor verkoeling …

Climate change requires cities to adapt to heat, drought, and high-intensity rainfall to become resilient. In the Netherlands, more than 74% of population lives in urban areas. Many Dutch cities have intensified their efforts to become climate resilient and water-robust by 2050. One of the strategies …

This presentation presented 2 examples of analysing and visualisations of ClimateScan platform data. Analysing the open-source Change Adaptation Platform ClimateScan shows that surface bio filtration is the category with most uploads, which is the case in Riga (started green infrastructure around 2020) …

Blue-green roofs have been utilized and studied for their enhanced water storage capacity compared to conventional roofs or extensive green roofs. Nonetheless, research about the thermal effect of blue-green roofs is lacking. The goal of this research is to study the thermal effect of blue-green roofs …
