Rooftop and wall greening
What we are doing to create green spaces in the environment itself.
Rooftop and wall greening
Rooftop greening can improve the living environment through thermal insulation and prevent urban and global warming, but it can also be expected to provide the healing power of greenery and the enjoyment of gardening in daily life.
In addition, it is possible to create new lifestyles through value-added features such as vegetable gardens, rather than simply rooftop or wall greening.
We have been acquiring rooftop and wall greening technologies since the dawn of time, and have been involved in numerous projects in a variety of technical ways, from large-scale projects for buildings, housing complexes, and hospitals to small-scale projects for private homes.
rooftop greening
In recent years, research on materials, technology, and planting for rooftop greening has progressed, and it is becoming more common than something special.
Technical challenges
Various measures need to be taken, such as waterproofing, drainage, weight, and planting suitable for rooftops.
technology trends
Three-dimensional greening infrastructure using wire mesh makes it possible to reduce weight, maintenance costs, and natural risks such as wind.
We are also experimenting with growing root vegetables using hydroponic cultivation units and other rooftop greening techniques that do not use soil directly.
Root vegetables such as sweet potatoes have many leaves and can be expected to have a global warming prevention effect. As a plant, it is resistant to wind and rain and is easy to cultivate. For this reason, it is easy to use as a teaching material and is ideal for use in school rooftop gardens, etc.
greening trend
Due to applications such as horticultural therapy, rooftop greening is also progressing on the rooftops of hospitals and rehabilitation facilities.
It is also expanding in various forms, such as rooftop gardens and biotopes.

wall greening
Wall greening has different challenges than rooftop greening, but like rooftop greening, materials, technology, and planting research are progressing.
Although it is more expensive than rooftop greening, constraints such as cost, construction period, and planting are being improved dramatically compared to before.
Technical challenges
Various measures need to be taken, such as watering, drainage, weight, planting, pest control, etc. In particular, maintenance requires more technical considerations than green roofs.
technology trends
Due to its characteristics, creating a planting base is the key to wall greening.
In addition, wall greening can be expected to have the effect of preventing building deterioration from UV rays.
As planting bases, bases that utilize the properties of the plants themselves are widely used, such as bases made from ivy or moss, which are not based on ancient wisdom.
