Exploring the multi-functional roof sector in the Netherland

Exploring the multi-functional roof sector in the Netherland - Daan Jongbloed, VU Amsterdam

Final Presentation Thesis (Dutch)

This study looked mainly at multi-functional roofs, such as green roofs with solar panels or a recreation function. A limited amount of sources were available as many companies had no time in their schedule to respond.  The main conclusions were that the materials used in constructing multi-functional roofs are already quite circular, and that the biggest improvements can be made in construction methods and reducing financial costs.

It remains unclear to which degree the entire life cycle of materials is taken into account, which is one of the reasons the LILa-GI is researching just that.
