Reduced energy consumption and lower carbon footprint
Green roofs provide natural insulation, reducing the need for heating and cooling, thus lowering energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Improved air quality and reduced urban heat island effect
Green roofs absorb pollutants and carbon dioxide, improving air quality, while also reducing the urban heat island effect by lowering ambient temperatures.
Stormwater management and reduced water runoff
Green roofs absorb and retain rainwater, reducing stormwater runoff and alleviating pressure on drainage systems, thus contributing to better water management.
Extended roof lifespan and reduced maintenance costs
The protective layer of vegetation on green roofs shields the roof membrane from UV radiation and extreme temperatures, leading to a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
Promotion of biodiversity and habitat creation
Green roofs provide habitats for birds, insects, and plants, promoting biodiversity and contributing to a healthier urban ecosystem.
