Episode 5: Rethinking roofs – from protection to multi-function
Roofs are no longer just protecting buildings. As climate challenges rise, our rooftops are evolving into active, multifunctional systems, capable of producing energy, supporting biodiversity, managing water, and even cooling cities.
At wienerberger, we are rethinking what roofs can do. From integrated solar solutions to cooling strategies and rainwater management, we are building smarter, more sustainable systems that help shape resilient urban environments for the future.
From Protection to Multi-Function: Sustainable Roof Systems
Today’s roofs must do more than shelter, they must serve. Besides their basic function of providing protection from weather, roofs can also be used for a variety of other purposes. In this interview, Christian Reingruber, Chief Strategy Officer for Roof Solutions at wienerberger, discusses current sustainability trends in roofing and emphasizes the shift toward making roofs serve multiple purposes, like harvesting solar energy, supporting greenery, and collecting rainwater.
Using Roofs: How wienerberger is Pushing Solar Solutions
In this interview, wienerberger’s solar experts Julien Chnebierk and Elöd Albert discuss the future of rooftop photovoltaics and key trends shaping the industry. They highlight how building-integrated solar solutions are gaining momentum, offering both energy efficiency and aesthetic value. With growing regulatory support and innovations in in-roof technology, wienerberger is positioning itself at the forefront of the solar transition across Europe.
