Environmental Benefits
Green roofing helps reduce the urban heat island effect, mitigates stormwater runoff, and provides habitats for wildlife. It also contributes to carbon sequestration and reduces air pollution.
Energy Efficiency
Green roofs provide natural insulation, reducing the need for heating and cooling, thus lowering energy consumption and utility costs for homes and businesses.
Extended Roof Lifespan
The vegetation and protective layers of a green roof act as a barrier, shielding the roof membrane from UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and physical damage, leading to a longer lifespan for the roof.
Improved Air Quality
Green roofs help filter pollutants and particulate matter from the air, leading to improved air quality in urban areas and reducing the impact of air pollution on human health.
Aesthetic Appeal
In addition to the environmental and functional benefits, green roofs also enhance the visual appeal of buildings, creating green spaces in urban environments and contributing to a more sustainable and attractive cityscape.
