Green roof modular system can renovate old building green roof easily

What’s the benefit of renovating the old building green roof?

1. Environmental beautification: According to the survey, the whole city with green roof can reduce 85% of the content CO2 , which greatly eased the heat island effect. At the same time, plants can absorb particles floating and evolve toxic gases in the air. The greening of the old building’s roof will greatly improve the phenomenon of dirty roofs and enhance the city’s landscape image.
2. Water-proof and seepage-proof, the green roof of the plant layer can reduce the roof temperature, prevent construction cracks, reduce UV radiation, delay the deterioration of the waterproof layer, effectively protect the waterproof layer of the building, and prolong the service life of the roof building materials.
3. Energy conservation in buildings: It is estimated the temperature in the hot summer room will be reduced by 3 to 5 ℃, and the indoor temperature in winter will increase by 3 to 5 ℃, which greatly reduces the energy consumption.

What’s the problem of old building roofs?

1. The week bearing capacity: the early construction standards are low, the influence of the surrounding environment, as well as the improper use of the late construction period and the longevity of the building, cause the building roof bearing capacity to be greatly affected.
2. Dirty roof phenomenon: The newly erected high-rise buildings, overlooking the roofs of the old buildings in cities, are mostly presented as “dirty”, and debris piled up on the roof, temporary structures, and scattered rubbish seriously affect the city. The landscape and urban air quality are in urgent need of solution.
3. The illegal construction of the roof: It will destroy the roof structure during the construction process, causing a reduction in roof load capacity, leakage of water in the rainy season, inability of the foundation and construction body to bear weight, and endangering the overall safety of the building.
4. Leakage of water in the rainy season: Due to the earlier construction time of old buildings, inadequate waterproof technology and lack of post-maintenance, roof leakage in the rainy season has become a common phenomenon, and there’re still more or less problems with traditional method repairs.
