Tackling climate change
The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly noticeable. Green roofs are an effective and necessary measure to mitigate the effects of climate change and make cities liveable in the future.
However, 90% of new flat roof are currently not greened. One of the reasons for this is that it is currently still very difficult for homeowners to green their roofs and requires a high degree of personal effort.
Plan your green roof today.
The heygrün platform addresses this problem and digitalises the entire process from the initial enquiry through to maintenance. We offer an all-round carefree package with roof inspection, subsidy application and craftsman coordination.
The customer gets an innovative overall solution and the craftsman saves process costs and more roofs can be greened in the same amount of time.
How did you come up with your idea?
When you think about the city of the future, you always see beautiful green cities. But the reality is different, unfortunately. When you walk through the city, you see many blank facades and monotonous roofs.
We thought about why this is the case and how we could convince more homeowners to green their roofs.
