Roof top gardening with light weight moss sheets
The Moss Inti, moss sheets developed by Moss World, can easily be set up on rooftops and side walls
Some of the merits of buildings covered with moss are: alleviation of urban heat-island phenomena, cost reduction in air conditioning due to the heat shielding effects of the moss and its ability to absorb carbon dioxide and prevention of concrete degradation by shielding it from ultra-violet and infrared rays.
Compared with grass, moss doesn't have roots, does not need soil, and is very light. Moss can be used in high-rise buildings, steep slopes, on the surface of roofs as well as rooftop areas and it fits comfortably with any existing building.
Moss, which doesn't need soil, does not burden the building. The weight per square meter is drastically lower compared to that of grass or other such plants which need soil. As such, even with large rooftop surfaces, the burden on the building is insignificant. There have been successful cases of lowering utility costs when used on delta roofs of residential housings.
Moss does not require maintenance efforts such as watering, fertilizers nor cutting as it absorbs moisture and nutrients from the air, hence making it easier to maintain at a low cost.
