Amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life, where the grey of concrete dominates the view, a refreshing green solution emerges: Vegetek. Since 2009, this innovative French company has been a pioneer in integrating vegetation into urban environments, transforming cities into more sustainable and pleasant spaces to live in.
Vegetek: a green oasis in the urban jungle
Vegetek has developed the world's lightest green roof, a revolutionary technology that not only beautifies cities, but also improves the energy efficiency of buildings and combats climate change. This solution can be installed in new and old buildings, making it extremely versatile and accessible for different types of projects.
Benefits that go beyond aesthetics
Vegetek green roofs offer a multitude of environmental benefits, including:
- Improved energy efficiency: The vegetation layer acts as a natural thermal insulator, reducing energy consumption and improving the efficiency of solar panels by 12%..
- Creating microclimates: During the hot summer months, these roofs help create cooler microclimates, which is essential for the quality of life in dense urban areas.
- Managing rainwater: These systems are effective in managing rainwater, preserving the waterproofing of buildings and promoting more efficient use of this resource.
