WORLD GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AWARD

The TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands has taken a sustainable step by installing a sedum roof on the circuit’s main building. The roof, which covers more than 250 square metres, is covered with a layer of sedum plants, wildflowers and herbs that provide numerous environmental benefits. The circuit definitely believes in the effectiveness of the sedum roof. Peter Oosterbaan, General Director TT Circuit Assen says: “Greening will become a necessary issue in the future, especially in urban areas and areas with a lot of stone and asphalt. We have chosen to have Mobilane expertly install a sedum roof with a mix of wildflowers on the so-called Techno Centre, in the beating heart of the circuit where the machine inspections take place. This green roof literally keeps the inspectors cool in summer! An additional benefit is that the lifespan of this roof is significantly extended. This means you also end up with lower costs and more sustainable use of precious building materials.”
