San Cayetano – a Colombian municipality in the department of Cundinamarca – is a logistical area in the midst of many local wineries. On top of an office building in this town a pleasantly cooling green roof was installed by Groncol. Sempergreen Colombia supplied the Sedum-mix blankets for this project, which were applied in combination with other plant species, covering an area of no less than 728m2 in total.
Green roof provides cooling effect
The building owners’ principal reason for the installation of a green roof was to generate a lower temperature at the top floor and as a result avoid the use of air conditioning. An important requirement for the client was that the green roof had to be low maintenance. This Sempergreen Sedum roof meets all these criteria. The rooftop garden has become a special and beloved place where the workers can have access to fresh air and have the opportunity to relax.
