Energy Efficiency
Green roofs provide natural insulation, reducing the need for heating and cooling, resulting in lower energy bills.
Longevity and Durability
The vegetation and protective layers of a green roof can extend the lifespan of the roof membrane, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
Stormwater Management
Green roofs absorb and filter rainwater, reducing runoff and the strain on drainage systems, which can prevent flooding and water pollution.
Improved Air Quality
Plants on green roofs capture air pollutants and produce oxygen, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment.
Financial Incentives and Savings
Many cities offer incentives such as tax credits or grants for installing green roofs, and the energy savings and extended roof lifespan can lead to significant long-term financial benefits.
