Winner in the Building Design Category

The innovative ‘hemp substrate panel’ as a component of green roofs, is a sustainable greening system for cities to overcome challenges such as heat islands, sealed surfaces and CO₂ pollution. Hemp stores CO₂, binds water and improves building cooling, ideal for ‘sponge cities’. With its low weight and wide range of applications, the solution is suitable for new buildings and renovations, increases the efficiency of photovoltaic systems and promotes sustainable construction. The aim: to make cities climate-resilient and improve quality of life.

Jury Statement: Hanfplatten für Klimaschutz impress with their low weight, which allows for easy retrofitting of existing roofs. Other positive effects on heat islands through cooling, on biodiversity through the use of sealed areas, and on CO2 storage through the use of hemp, make it a holistic product.
