Greenable roofs in Hietzing
The roofs here are mixed, leaning towards steep ones. Of 263 hectares of roof area in the 13th district, 114 hectares are flat enough for greening — 43.3 %, of which 82 hectares lie up to 5°, where a deeper build-up with beds would also work. Greened, that area would hold back on the order of 210,000 cubic metres of rain a year that otherwise runs into the sewer.
Own calculation of roof pitch per roof face from the City of Vienna’s official roof model (LOD2.1, CC BY 4.0), suitability thresholds of 5° and 20° as in the City’s green-roof potential cadastre. Whether a roof is already green is unknown to a geometry model; plant rooms and chimneys are not subtracted, and the statics have a say. The retention is a model built from 626.3 mm of annual rainfall (Hohe Warte, 1991–2020) and the runoff coefficients of ÖNORM B 2501. All districts compared → What a single roof may still carry — an attic conversion or an added storey — is calculated from the zoning plan on Attic conversion in Vienna.
