Romania's Urban Planning Code will require, from 1 January 2027, that office, commercial, industrial and storage buildings, including covered car parks, with a built area exceeding 1,000 sqm obtain authorisation only if green roofs adapted to local climatic conditions cover at least half of the roof surface. Industry association Converde welcomes the obligation, arguing that rooftops currently function as heat-accumulating surfaces that discharge rainwater rapidly into drainage systems, and that the new rules could turn them into active infrastructure for urban climate adaptation.
