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 rainwater, reducing runoff and the strain on drainage systems, which helps prevent flooding and water pollution.
Extended Roof Lifespan
The vegetation and soil on green roofs protect the underlying roof membrane from UV rays and extreme temperatures, extending its lifespan.
Improved Air Quality
Green roofs act as natural air filters, absorbing pollutants and carbon dioxide while releasing oxygen, leading to improved air quality in urban areas.
Financial Incentives
Many cities offer financial incentives, such as tax credits or rebates, for installing green roofs, making them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly roofing option.
