Academy
SHARING AND BUILDING EXPERTISE IS ONE OF OUR FOUNDING VALUES
I devote a significant part of my activity to disseminate performing green roof systems to promote its values to our entire supply chain: contractors, designers, landscape architects, agronomists, and installer gardeners. Knowledge sharing is central to building technical knowledge about the culture of designing nature-based solutions tailored specifically for the Mediterranean climate.
[Maurizio Crasso, Harpo verdepensile director]
Courses and seminars:
Every year, in collaboration with professionals and trade associations, we organize meetings and events to promote the environmental, social and economic value of green roof technology. We are present at major national trade fairs and participate in industry conferences with specific technical contributions for architects, engineers, agronomists, and gardeners.
Brochures, catalogs and technical manuals
We edit content, differentiated for our different audiences, to publicize the advantages, techniques and specifications of Harpo verdepensile systems in the Mediterranean context: popular brochures, technical manuals for design and installation, in-depth information on our substrates, and catalogs presenting our accessories.
Technical training and dedicated content:
Designers
For more than 20 years, training for designers aimed at informing them about the prerogatives and possibilities of green roof systems in the evolved professional field, through in-depth technical discussions of systems, applications and performance has been one of Harpo’s strengths. We carry out constant technical information activities on the ground and through our digital channels.
Applicators and maintenance operators
The reliability of our product-systems also depends on proper execution and installation by operators and maintenance operators. That’s why we provide special training courses to prepare specialized and qualified applicators-an additional element of assurance we offer our customers.
Clients and investors
The benefits generated by nature-based solutions even at an urban scale have been the subject in recent years of economic evaluations aimed at guiding private and public investment choices that also benefit from incentives of various kinds. Harpo offers training and customized consulting dedicated to those who want to invest in this innovative sector.
