Ways to capitalize on the terraces of urban living spaces

Abstract

The concept of terrace or green roof, arose from the desire to bring nature as close as possible. Thanks to the increasingly advanced technologies of recent years, we can achieve this goal even when we live in urban areas. The benefits of this work could be seen in the proposal of a design solution that aimed to reduce energy consumption and noise pollution, 60% rainwater retention and last but not least reduce the temperature of the roof by up to 7 degrees in the warm season and increase it by up to 5 degrees in the cold season. Thus, in this work, the suitability of some dendrological species for an arrangement located on a terrace located on the last level of a block of flats in the Tudor Vladimirescu neighborhood was analyzed. In carrying out this work, the choice of planting material was taken into account to ensure the decoration in a wide range.
