GREEN DESIGN FOR BETTER INDOOR CLIMATE

Poor air quality and high indoor temperatures impact health and productivity and noise pollution undermine comfort, health and productivity. Buildings that fail to regulate these factors create stuffy spaces and unproductive workdays.

 

Natural cooling

Green roofs and facades keep buildings cooler during summer heatwaves.

Heat regulating all year round

Green systems reduce heat loss in winter and stabilise indoor climate.

Better air, less noise

Plants filter fine dust, improve humidity and reduce noise indoors.

Our Solution

Our natural solution for indoor climate

Green roofs and walls create a healthier indoor climate. Greenery reduces stress, supports relaxation and lowers complaints like headaches, tiredness and irritation. Living and working in a green environment has a positive effect on the well-being of people

INVEST IN PEOPLE’S WELL-BEING

Sempergreen roofs and SemperGreenwall Indoor systems transform buildings into healthy places to live and work. Greenery cools, cleans the air and reduces noise. More than energy savings, they provide comfort, relaxation and focus — an investment in the well-being of people every day.
Green design also supports a healthier indoor climate: complaints such as irritated eyes, headaches, dry throat and fatigue decrease. In offices with sufficient greenery, absenteeism rates are shown to decline.

Clean air, Green Walls

Poor indoor air quality is a silent problem in many buildings. Pollutants from paint, adhesives and office equipment – such as benzene, xylene and ammonia – circulate daily, leading to headaches, fatigue and loss of focus. The indoor living wall solutions of Sempergreen provides a natural solution. By integrating proven air-purifying plants such as Asplenium, Chlorophytum, Phlebodium, Philodendron monstera and Spathiphyllum, the wall filters out harmful substances while releasing moisture into the air. This improves humidity, prevents dryness and creates a healthier, more productive indoor environment – all wrapped in a striking green design.

Turn down the noise

Echo and background noise can make any space feel restless and tiring. An indoor plant wall changes that instantly. The lush greenery absorbs sound, creating calmer and more comfortable environments in offices, schools, hotels and public spaces. Independent acoustic tests confirm the strong sound-absorbing performance of the SemperGreenwall Indoor, reducing noise by up to 85%. Beyond the numbers, people simply notice the difference: clearer conversations, less distraction and a more relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, the wall adds a striking design feature that brings nature indoors. With Sempergreen, you don’t just create a green wall – you create a quieter, healthier and more enjoyable place to be.

 

Cooling from above

Traditional black roofs absorb extreme amounts of heat, raising indoor temperatures. A Sempergreen green roof lowers roof surface heat by up to 40°C. Beneath, rooms stay 3–5°C cooler in summer, reducing the need for air conditioning. In winter, the system limits heat loss through its insulating substrate and vegetation layer. This results in heat regulation, reduced CO₂ emissions and a more stable indoor climate all year round. In addition, green roofs absorb sound, creating quieter and healthier environments inside.

Smart systems for the ultimate indoor climate

Sempergreen offers proven green roofs and living walls that reduce heat absorption, improve insulation and clean the air. Whether on roofs or façades, our systems improve comfort, cut energy costs and help create healthier indoor environments.

Everything about indoor comfort

Find answers to the most common questions about how green roofs and walls improve indoor climate, comfort, and energy savings. 

Does a green roof have an insulating effect?

Yes, green roofs provide sound insulation. The mix of plants, substrate and air layers absorbs and reflects sound waves. Research shows noise levels can be reduced by up to 8 dB, which sounds about 50% quieter to the human ear.

Do plants improve indoor air quality?

Definitely. Plants filter harmful particles such as fine dust, absorb CO₂ and produce oxygen. They also release moisture through evaporation, which improves indoor humidity. This reduces issues such as dry eyes and supports healthier, more comfortable spaces.

Can green roofs and walls lower energy bills?

Yes. Less need for air conditioning in summer and heating in winter means significant energy savings.

Do living walls reduce ambient noise inside?

Yes. A SemperGreenwall Indoor acts as an effective sound barrier. Independent tests show it absorbs up to 85% of ambient noise (αw 0.85). Please note: the exact acoustic value depends on factors such as room size, ceiling height, construction and furnishing.

Do green systems affect well-being?

Yes. Green roofs and walls reduce stress, promote relaxation and create healthier environments. Studies show fewer complaints such as fatigue, headaches and irritation in greener spaces.
