A new experimental green roof at the Għajn Water Conservation Centre in Rabat will gather scientific data to explore the potential of this green infrastructure for flood prevention, while making buildings more sustainable and energy efficient.
A team from the Energy and Water Agency (EWA) team developed this green roof, as part of the GiFluid Project in collaboration with the University of Catania, and co-funded by the European Union under the Interreg Italia-Malta Programme.
EWA CEO Manuel Sapiano said the GiFluid project will allow the agency to assess the numerous advantages offered by green roofs, including enhanced PV panel productivity. “It is also a pioneering effort to explore the potential of green roofs in mitigating flood risks within the Maltese landscape.”
