The Polish Green Roof Association (Polskie Stowarzyszenie Dachy Zielone, PSDZ), was established in April 2009. The organization aims to provide a focus for companies and institutions to come together to encourage cities/regions and individuals to promote the use of green roofs within Poland. PSDZ is keen to work with other EfB members to ensure that there is cooperation both at a national, regional and city level to establish understanding and rationale about how vegetation and soil can be utilized within urban areas to combat climate change. Members of PSDZ believe they will be able to widespread the professional knowledge of green roofs adding to the growth of ecological awareness of the society.
PSDZ brings together over 40 members from a wide range of organizations and fields, including university centers, architects, producers and contractors of green roofs. The association has been created to ensure that the strong interest in green roofs in Poland is able to counter the lack of clear guidelines and policy at both the building and the national level. PSDZ is a member of the Polish Federation of Engineering Associations – NOT, which is a public organization with almost 160 years history affiliating 37 branch Engineering Associations representing all fields of technology (ca. 230.000 individual members altogether).
