Sedummix blankets of Sempergreen USA were applied on this green roof on top of Hillside Elementary School in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. In 2008 the school received a grant from the Ministry of Environment for the implementation of a 9200 sq. ft. green roof, including two years of maintenance.
The school does not have air conditioning in all areas. By applying this green roof, the roof contributes to a more pleasant indoor temperature during the summer. The school is located lower than street level, herewith creating clearly visible green roofs. The aim is to give extra attention to the application of green roofs in the area.
