| New Advanced Vegetative Roof System Columbia Green Technologies introduced Advanced Vegetative Roof System, AVRS, a new green roof system. The water-efficient system incorporates patented Zeba branded moisture release technology for faster, fuller vegetation establishment and lower maintenance costs. Zeba's patented, cornstarch-based granules work like a sponge, holding and releasing water as the plant roots need it. The AVRS solution is targeted to architects, landscape designers, city planners, and building developers and owners. In addition to aesthetics, benefits are year-round energy savings, improved stormwater management, increased air quality, reduction in urban heat-island effect, and noise reduction in buildings. AVRS's solution uses lightweight, double-interlocking trays for easy and rapid assembly. A wide variety of low-maintenance, weather-resistant succulent plants are utilized, along with the pre-blended soil mix which includes Zeba. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
