Reduced Urban Heat Island Effect
Green roofing helps to reduce the urban heat island effect by absorbing less heat and providing natural insulation, which can lower the overall temperature of urban areas.
Improved Air Quality
Green roofs act as natural air filters, removing pollutants and particulate matter from the air, leading to improved air quality in urban environments.
Stormwater Management
Green roofs can absorb and retain rainwater, reducing the burden on stormwater systems and preventing runoff, which can help mitigate flooding and erosion.
Energy Efficiency
Green roofs provide natural insulation, reducing the need for heating and cooling, which can lead to lower energy consumption and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Extended Roof Lifespan
The protective layer of vegetation on green roofs can shield the underlying roofing materials from UV radiation and extreme temperatures, leading to a longer lifespan for the roof.
