33 BENEFITS OF THE SUCCULENT-PLANT ROOF GARDEN: ILASA Conference 2010 Assists in moderating the building s impact on microclimate:- the gardens absorb suns heat energy, rather than reflecting it, + through evaporation, helps cool the air Acts as a temporary water-retention system during rainfall Low growing/ mat -forming habit of plants aids resistance to strong winds, while binding the topsoil Succulents are extremely drought resistant Only shallow soil required less structural requirements Diverse variety of species available Easily cultivated + multiplied

34 Construction process: Expanded polystyrene insulation Nukote waterproofing 1. Waterproofing + protection 2. Edging 3. Drainage layer

35 Construction process: 4. Separation Layers 5. Growing medium 6. Fencing

Nature Area & Planted Embankments Continuous green link between nature reserve & campus Soft buffer between road & built form Reduced visual impact of the built form Reduced traffic noise by earth banks + tree planting Series of informal detention ponds assist biodiversity, while also reducing impact of storm water run-off Planted Embankments Nature Area

52 Conclusion 4 months since completion value of Landscape is already enormous: Existing/ New large trees = immediate shade + cooling Noise pollution reduced Rehabilitated biodiversity Reduced visual impact of the built form Reduction in storm water run-off PRIDE GREEN STAR RATING POINTS HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT = HEALTHY BODY + MIND
