Urban Water Circulation

Rooftop Greening System Out Of Management

Summary

A new, no-management roof greening system with improved insulation and soundproofing effects by inducing natural death of weeds by creating a simple and ultra-thin planting base on the roof.

Roof greening effect

Rooftop Greening Infrared Temperature Measurement

Non-green Roof surface temperature: 40-50˚ or more

Green Roof surface temperature: 25-30˚ or less

Environmental effect
  • Improvement of urban environment such as air quality improvement
  • Relief of urban heat island phenomenon - Green roof can reduce city temperature by 5℃
  • Reduced noise in the city center
  • Urban flood prevention - 200~300ℓ of rainwater storage per 100m2
Economic effect
  • Saving heating and cooling costs through insulation effect of buildings - 16.6% reduction in heating and cooling energy through roof greening
  • Protects buildings from acid rain and UV rays - Extends the life expectancy of the roof waterproofing layer to more than 40 years

System cross section

Detailed configuration

Sedum

  • Low-maintenance dry-resistant ground cover that can be greened in low soil depth
  • Strong evergreen, various colors and textures are possible depending on the type

Zero soil

  • Soil hardening prevention insulation, excellent sound insulation efficiency
  • Excellent air permeability, drainage and water retention by mixing ceramic and coco pit

Functional Ceramic Mulching Stone

  • Prevention of defects in sedum during the rainy season Prevention of scattering
  • Prevention of zero soil loss Prevention of pitting caused by heavy rain Substitution of acid rain

Drain board

  • Reliability, durability and load-bearing capacity of drainage treatment
  • Simple and economical construction After combining the drain plate, install the permeable sheet

Features of unmanaged rooftop greening system

MaintenanceZERO
  • After planting, only natural rainwater can grow (no irrigation required)
  • Prevents soil hardening and does not require separate tillage and excavation
  • Zero weed control with a soil system that suppresses weed germination
PollutionZERO
  • Water purification by metal ions of ceramic material mixed with zero soil
  • No need for harmful factors such as fertilization and control
Burden (worry)ZERO
  • Designed as an ultra-thin and lightweight greening system to minimize the load on the building
  • About 30% cheaper than other methods
