Sustainable roofs require smart monitoring
We put more and more on the roof: solar panels, greenery, water retention, sometimes even parking lots. These multifunctional roofs are sustainable and smartly utilized - but they also make the roof more complex and invisible. And that brings risks.
What makes multi-purpose roofs so risky?
- They are often not (or hardly) visually inspectable
- There is additional stress from water, substrate, plants
- Drains get clogged faster, without you noticing it
Why monitoring is essential
Sensors offer insight into what you can't see:
- Dampness and contamination in the gutter
- Temperature and humidity conditions in the roof structure
With our IoT sensors and LoRa, you make your roof smarter. Problems are detected faster, allowing you to take action before they get bigger. Whether you're responsible for a single building or an entire portfolio, make risk management easier.
The long-term benefits
- Early intervention prevents damage and downtime
- Monitoring makes maintenance predictable rather than reactive
- Data substantiates performance of sustainable roofs to investors or clients
Conclusion
Sustainable roofs are beautiful - but they deserve a smart form of management. With real-time monitoring, you make the invisible visible and ensure that sustainability does not become a risk.
