Identification

OASIS is a multifunctional and hydroactive green roof for greening urban buildings. Unlike conventional green roofs, OASIS is a stormwater management tool. Urban damage related to rain runoff is avoided, flood risks are reduced and discharges to the natural environment in rainy weather are limited. In addition to an enlarged vegetal choice and urban farming, OASIS adds value to the stored water. For example, plants are irrigated twice with the same water thanks to capillarity. OASIS can be considered an urban planning device since it reintroduces nature and biodiversity into the city while driving urban building costs down. Absorption of rain peaks means OASIS maintains a low and constant run-off rate not affected by intense rainfalls.

Implementation Stories

OASIS: Multimodal Hydroactive System by Le Prieuré Vegetal i.D.
Implemented by L'École nationale supérieure d'art et de design in Nancy (France) in 2015

The urban community of Greater Nancy installed the Solution on the Ecole Nationale Supérieur des Arts et du Design of Nancy’s flat roof in 2015. As a new building, it was part of a sustainable development approach with the architect’s desire to implement an innovative roofing solution combining the benefits of vegetation and rainwater management. With a surface of 900 m2, this installation aims to meet the requirements of the Local Urbanism Plan in terms of stormwater management by allowing to store, irrigate and regulate water in an autonomous way.

Result

A low outflow of 4l / sec / ha compliant with legal requirement in local urban plans (1 to 10 l / s / ha)
