[K-MOVE] Vegetable Garden on Rooftop / YTN KOREAN

Описание: It is an ordinary five-story building.

But a completely different world is witnessed on the rooftop of the building.

It is a vegetable garden where various flowers and vegetables are growing.

A researcher compares the temperature of the bottom of the ordinary rooftop with that of the surface of the vegetable garden at 10:30 AM.

The temperature of the concrete rooftop soared to 51 degrees Celsius but the garden's stayed at 30 degrees Celsius.

This is because the moisture kept in the garden takes away heat from the building when it evaporates.

[Park Hyeon-Ju, professor, Seoul National University]
"The soil of our rooftop garden maintains a humidity level of 60 percent, while those for other ordinary rooftop gardens keep the level at about 30 percent."

Underneath the rooftop vegetable garden is a layer that can store rainwater.

The rooftop garden is wide open to everybody.

The garden not only plays a role as a resting place but also helps lower electric bills.
