Commercial
& Industrial: Strip Shopping Centers, Malls,
Gas Stations, Factories, Warehouses – Greenroofs would be ideal for businesses
like gas stations who need to mitigate some of their detrimental ecological
effects. Relief for large expanses of non-porous
roofing pavements can be provided by retrofitting existing roofs or constructing
new greenroofs. Huge areas of flat
roofs can be turned into naturalized areas, as is the case in these examples by
Optima/Optigrün.

Urban
Environments & Downtown Centers: Tall Office
Buildings, Restaurants/Bars/Clubs, Multi Story or Underground Parking Garages,
Terraces between Buildings, Areas above Basements, Housing Blocks, Individual
Dwellings – All can take advantage of the height differential in a cityscape
where plan views are the norm and provide visual and ecological relief; they can
become good neighbors by softening views of the concrete jungle and the barren
gravel desert of stone ballast roofs.
