Addressing climate change necessitates a conscious transition toward sustainable infrastructure solutions. Our vision involved transforming an experimental area into the University Experimental Center. This experimental building serves as a model for gray infrastructure implementation, taking into account its dimensions, layout, flooring, and material composition. Our study aims to compare the retention capacities of various types of vegetated roofs, as determined by different legislations. The findings indicate that the outcomes vary based on the regulations used. This variation subsequently influences the design of associated infrastructures, such as rainwater drainage systems, and the design of stressed structures. This is due to the impact of water quantity on the thermal response of a stressed structure. The water used to irrigate the vegetation layer, along with the water retained by the upper roof, has a positive impact on both the building and its surroundings. Initially, the system comprised two functional components: vegetated roofs and a reference roof. The integrated experimental roof shell, in conjunction with the frame, forms an autonomous system. This system serves as a segment for quantifying water retention, humidity, and temperature across diverse green infrastructure substrates. We analyzed the thermal response of experimental roof constructions and monitored the influence of water and precipitation. Our results indicate that the height of the substrate affects not only the retention capacity but also the thermal response of the vegetated roof.

Cities represent a massive area of dense materials that accumulate heat, do not retain rainwater, and therefore create an unpleasant condition for life. Many countries apply green roofs as an effective and practical tool to mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization. They are often designed as intensive and extensive. In recent years, a lot of research has been done on green roofs for a better understanding of their behavior in different conditions. In recent years, experimental green roofs have also started emerging in Slovakia. At the same time, the idea of restoring vegetation to industrial zones with help of such construction was made. The paper focuses on the latest planned phase of the project for the greening of an office building with an adjacent area in an industrial zone. Phase five consists of the design of a biodiverse green roof that will provide an alternative habitat for fauna and flora. The main elements of the design are the compositions of green and wetland roofs. Moreover, the paper summarizes the already implemented phases of the project.
