Ui-Wang Poil Eoulrim Center's Rooftop Transformed into 'Eco-Friendly Green Space'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Ui-Wang City has installed eco-friendly artificial turf at three locations, including a library rooftop garden, to provide a pleasant environment for citizens using Poil Eoulrim Center and on-site workers.

The city selected an eco-friendly certified domestic product that offers quality similar to natural turf, while passing tests for heavy metal non-detection and flame retardancy. The installation was completed with consideration for functional aspects including heat blocking in summer and insulation in winter.

Additionally, the city has installed large-scale artificial turf engraved with the facility's name on the rooftop of the sports center, which was previously restricted from public access for safety reasons. This improvement to the rooftop environment naturally enhanced promotional effects as well.

Through this green space creation, the city expects that the organized and soothing-colored artificial turf, which breaks away from monotonous concrete rooftops, will harmonize well with the existing rooftop landscaping and provide center users with an even more beautiful rest area.

Mayor Kim Sang-don of Ui-Wang City stated, "By transforming the cold and hard gray cement floors into eco-friendly artificial turf, we will not only improve the building's landscape but also achieve building energy-saving effects through enhanced insulation. We will do our best to create a pleasant usage environment, including providing citizens with rest spaces within the rooftop gardens," he said.
