A PolderRoof is located above the lecture rooms C and D of the Faculty of Civil Engineering. In the coming years, research will be carried out into the performance and further potential of the PolderRoof.
In this “Fieldlab”, the hydrology department examines, among other things, the evaporation, energy saving and possibilities of urban agriculture. The special feature of this research is that it is also compared with a reference roof above lecture rooms A and B with the same dimensions but without a PolderRoof.
The Fieldlab Polderdak was created in collaboration between Stowa, the Delfland Water Board, RIONED, Delft City Council, TU Delft and uses European Climate KIC project financing.
