To help prevent or reduce the rate of speed of global warming, adding a green open space with a garden on the roof of houses , buildings, hotels and offices is one effective way. Although most of the conditions of the urban region is filled by a high rise building, the designers (architects, and landscape architects) should create a green open space to add plants that have been taken over when the building is constructed.
By creating a garden on the roof, storey buildings can still be a green open space, because there is space efficiency. Park on the roof (roof garden) is as an alternative reforestation to improve the quality of the environmental health of a large city.
Making the garden on the roof (roof garden) is not cheap and requires the construction of the roof structure and specific. Even for optimal results, the construction of the roof to the garden was designed from the outset, before the building was constructed. However, this investment can come back in a few years later, as the cost of electricity for air conditioning is reduced, and building economic value added.
A private hospital in Singapore succeeded in reducing electricity consumption by 50 percent, after creating a garden on the roof (roof garden) . Although the roof garden was just a tomato plant, which was placed in the pot to cover the entire roof. Another advantage, the hospital did not need to buy tomatoes again.
In addition to adding the shade, the garden on the roof (roof garden) can also be used to absorb toxic gases. Eg bamboo or palm can absorb formaldehyde gas and gasoline. While the lily plant, in addition to absorbing the formaldehyde gas and petrol, alcohol and acetone are also absorbing the resulting paint and so forth. Vines also serves to absorb gases acetate, ammonia and other gases. Because of this function, vines have been used to park on the roof (roof garden) in foreign countries such as Singapore and Japan.
