Mülheim an der Ruhr, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Flat roof being prepared for roof greening. Here the substrate layer on the separating fleece and the drainage layer underneath. Stone fill at the rainwater drain. Extensive roof greening with low-growing plants such as grasses and sedum plants, which are largely self-sustaining without maintenance. They are well adapted to the extreme site conditions on the roof, extreme temperatures, frost, wind, heat, sun and little water. The green roof insulates in winter and serves as heat protection in summer, thus contributing to energy savings and strengthening urban climate resilience as a natural air conditioning system, Europe
