Usage of Hydrophilic Mineral Wool Panels in Green Roof Systems in Passive Houses

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hydrophilic panels can be used in extensive vegetation green roof systems as a soil replacement. They are lightweight (also with full water saturation), have certified thermal insulation properties in wet conditions and beyond all, they have laboratory approval of vertical and horizontal drainage ability, similar as a special drainage nep composites.Low weight of panels is further more advantageous in the intensive green roof systems and passive houses– static demands on roof and wall constructions can be dramatically decreased. Special water-accumulation panels can be used in retention roofs. Multiple-layered panels can help with thermal properties of building envelope of passive houses.
