Starting January 1, 2027, new office, commercial, industrial, and storage buildings over 1,000 square meters must have green roofs covering at least half of their area. This requirement, part of the new Urban Planning Code, aims to mitigate urban heat and improve rainwater management. The green roofing industry anticipates significant market growth, but emphasizes the need for clear definitions of exceptions to avoid misuse. Green roofs can manage rainwater, reduce surface temperatures, and enhance urban biodiversity. However, the industry warns that vague criteria for technical and economic impossibility could lead to inconsistent application of the law across local authorities. Developers must consider these requirements in their designs ahead of the 2027 deadline, and industry representatives are ready to collaborate on technical regulations.
