The BAF expresses the ratio of the ecologically effective surface area to the total land area. Calculating the BAF
Image: SenUVK
Each plot of land can be designed in various ways. In principle, measures that lead to an expansion of the area of vegetation on the ground are given priority. Only then should additional possibilities, such as the replacement of asphalt and concrete with other surfaces, be utilized. Calculation Examples
The biotope area factor as an ecological parameter - Basis for the determination and determination of target values / Literature study for the determination of credit factors of the biotope area factor of different categories of the area types of roof and vertical greening. Principles for its determination and identification of the target
