Every square meter green roof or living wall counts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable renovation is here to stay. Every square meter of green roof or green wall counts, because it\u2019s space we can give back to nature when renovating a building. When Sempergreen’s founder, Corn\u00e9 van Garderen, envisioned transforming flat roofs into roofs brimming with life 28 years ago, few saw the potential. He stuck to his vision and has since built an international company that, through green roofs and now also outdoor and indoor green walls, and various urban surfaces, gives back countless meters to nature worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That alone makes the effort of green renovation worthwhile. But there are many more (financial) benefits. We’ve listed them here for you. If you have questions after reading about these benefits or want to know what we can do for your projects and those of your clients, please contact our specialists<\/a>. They can tell you exactly what the specific benefits are for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sustainable Renovation with green roofs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our green solutions breathe life into every roof. Insects eagerly use the roofs to rest, feed, and grow. But our green roofs do much more. They provide heat regulation; they keep warmth outside during summer (that’s a savings you’ll notice in your wallet!). They also play a significant role in water management. The roofs retain rainwater and release it slowly to the sewer system or storm drains, reducing peak loads on the sewer during heavy rains, which, unfortunately, we see more often since climate is changing. You can read more about how that works here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green solar roofs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that a green roof also has a great effect on solar panels? Especially now that we’ve set the standard for the new solar green roof of the future with Over Easy Solar! With this combination, you can make 100% use of solar panels while your green roof gets 100% space. Due to the cooling effect of the plants, the output of the bifacial panels is guaranteed to be higher than when placed on a conventional black roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what about pitched roofs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With all these benefits, we can rightly call our green roofs a sustainable way of renovating. Thanks to our many years of experience as growers and our innovative spirit, we have also developed a perfect solution for pitched roofs. There’s no roof that can’t be greened, so every renovation project is eligible. Want to know more about our green roof solutions for pitched roofs? Read on here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And often, there are financial incentives too!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

More and more governmental organizations recognize the enormous importance of green renovation and offer grants or tax benefits for green roof and green facade installations. Get in touch with your local offices to see what their programs are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
