UNDERGROUND BUILDINGS WITH IGLU'® GREEN ROOFS

UNDERGROUND BUILDINGS WITH IGLU'® GREEN ROOFS

Since the 1970s, bio-architecture has explored the topic of underground buildings, considering aspects such as reducing the ecological footprint and improving the microclimate. These buildings combine integration into the landscape with energy savings, fitting into areas even with complex topographies. The benefits of building in the negative are in terms of stabilising internal temperatures, thanks to the thermal inertia of the ground, as well as thermal and acoustic insulation.

To realise efficient and sustainable underground buildings, the choice of materials and technologies is crucial. IGLU'® GREEN ROOF, a recycled plastic formwork system that combines ecological advantages with high technical performance, enables the construction of green roofs.

Characteristics of IGLU'® GREEN ROOF

High capacity to retain and store water, favouring more gradual drainage in the event of heavy rainfall and avoiding the disappearance of vegetation due to a lack or excess of water.

Environmental sustainability by improving the macro and microclimate as well as air quality.

Thermal insulation, with less heat loss in winter and natural cooling in summer.

Acoustic insulation, mitigating the action of acoustic waves and reducing propagation to the rooms below by a few decibels, resulting in improved comfort inside the building.

Increased property value, aesthetic value resulting in a significant appreciation of the value of the building.

IGLU'® GREEN ROOF in underground projects is used in different types of buildings, such as residential housing, commercial buildings and public infrastructure.

This system contributes to improving the sustainability of structures and increases their attractiveness, making spaces more welcoming and pleasant for users.

The adoption of underground buildings is an innovative response to contemporary environmental and urban challenges. Thanks to solutions such as Daliform Group's IGLU'®GREEN ROOF, it is possible to realise projects that combine sustainability, energy efficiency and landscape integration.

Leveraging modern technologies and thoughtful design, underground buildings can transform the way we build and live, contributing to a greener, more resilient future.
