AMAREX Comparison Tool for measures BGI / BGI+ / BGI-U

The facilities included in the catalogue of measures developed within the AMAREX project were analyzed using a standardized modeling approach to allow for systematic comparison. For the cities of Berlin and Cologne, the required volumes and surface areas of the facilities, as well as their impacts on the water balance – evaporation, infiltration, and direct runoff – were assessed under uniform standard conditions (2500 m² of roof area draining into the facility; water use in RWB-N systems for irrigation of standardized urban greenery with trees and lawn). The tool enables targeted comparison and evaluation of the facilities based on different objectives:

• water usage,
• stormwater management,
• evaporation,
• infiltration, or
• combinations thereof.
