As coberturas e fachadas mediterrânicas, vivas e produtivas promovem o bem estar e a qualidade de vida das populações e contribuem decisivamente para o aumento da resiliência das cidades. Por esta razão é essencial não apenas o conhecimento das soluções existentes que melhor se adaptam ao nosso clima, como ainda o desenvolvimento das competências técnicas essenciais para a boa implementação daquelas soluções. O enfoque deste Workshop está na demonstração da integração da dimensão verde nas cidades e das oportunidades de intervenção conducentes à melhoria do desempenho energético dos edifícios, à redução do “efeito ilha de calor”, à boa gestão das águas pluviais, à reciclagem de águas cinzentas, à melhoria da qualidade do ar, ao aumento da biodiversidade e à segurança alimentar das populações urbanas, sempre assentando nas melhores e mais adequadas tecnologias disponíveis.
8. Climate Change - UK
Increased summer temperatures - particularly
in Cities
Increased likelihood of intense summer storms
- leading to flash floods

26. These are N. European approach to green
roofs
Key consideration is to drain excessive
water as soon as possible
What about the Mediterranean?
Need to impede the flow of water and
retain it on the roof
Thursday, 20 October 2011
29. Even in Southern Europe a focus on the light
weight approach
Light weight will need heavy irrigation
Even N. Europe the best green roofs are between
100 -150 mm
Engineers and Architects will need to recognise
that lightweight is not: Good or sustainable

34. Considerations for Lisbon/Portugal
•plants - what plants to use
•to irrigate or not to irrigate
•How to store excessive rain for re use later
•building regulations

55. We can use air con and other equipement
to shade and irrigate Mediterranean green
roofs
Better green roofs better performance of
the equipement

59. Rainfall Harvesting
§ Can use water from roofs as grey
water
§ Some commercial substrates have
nutrients which leads to
discolouration of water
§ Discoloration disappears after few
years once vegetation established
§ If are going harvest ‘no’ nutrient
substrate can be used

67. Final Thoughts - Engineering
Often too much emphasis on this area
What retains water, provides shade from
the sun and the wind
Engineering should be FOCUSSED on
what helps the vegetation

69. Final Thoughts - Vegetation
Vegetation is KEY - what plants
create dew/condensation
What survives in the surrounding
mountains and dry plains of Portugal
