SEMPERGREEN - GREEN ROOFS & GROUND COVER

green city of the future RAINWATER RETENTION In order to limit the increasingly frequent floods caused by heavy rainfall, it becomes more important to use water retention on roofs. Research has shown that green roofs can store at least 50% of the precipitation in the drainage layer, the substrate and in the vegetation. Today’s green roofs even go one step further by completely storing rainwater and drain in a controlled manner. Water retention by the plants ensures a good evaporation, providing a cooling effect. ADDS VALUE TO THE BUILDING CREATES FIRE- RESISTANT LAYER TEMPERATURE REDUCTION Green roofs contribute to lowering the temperature in the city. Surfaces with plants warm up less quickly and store less heat. In addition, plants evaporate water, which leads to cooling of the air. This creates a cooler and more pleasant urban climate. For the indoor temperature of your building, this means that the air conditioning has to work less hard, with energy saving as a result. AIR PURIFICATION With a green roof you contribute to air purification. The plants of a green roof filter particulate matter from the air and convert CO 2 into oxygen. Cities are sensitive to the consequences of climate change. Extreme weather leads to floods, heat problems and poor air quality. Green measures, including green roofs, play an important role in climate- resilient building. The city of the future is undoubtedly a green city. green roof benefits EXTENDS LIFE SPAN OF ROOF DIRECT-GREEN
