Energy Efficiency
Green roofs provide natural insulation, reducing the need for heating and cooling, which can lead to significant energy savings.
Stormwater Management
Green roofs absorb and filter rainwater, reducing the strain on drainage systems and minimizing the risk of flooding.
Extended Roof Lifespan
The protective layer of vegetation on green roofs shields the roofing membrane from UV radiation and extreme temperatures, leading to a longer roof lifespan.
Improved Air Quality
Green roofs help to filter pollutants and carbon dioxide from the air, leading to improved air quality and a healthier environment.
Financial Incentives
Many cities offer financial incentives such as tax credits or grants for installing green roofs, making them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly roofing option.
