Energy Efficiency
Green roofing can significantly reduce energy consumption by providing natural insulation, reducing the need for heating and cooling. This can lead to lower energy bills and decreased environmental impact.
Stormwater Management
Green roofs can absorb and retain rainwater, reducing the burden on stormwater systems and preventing runoff pollution. This can help mitigate flooding and protect water quality.
Improved Air Quality
Green roofs can filter pollutants and carbon dioxide from the air, improving overall air quality and contributing to a healthier environment for building occupants and surrounding communities.
Extended Roof Lifespan
The protective layer of vegetation on green roofs can shield the underlying roof membrane from UV radiation and extreme temperatures, extending the lifespan of the roof and reducing the need for maintenance.
Urban Heat Island Mitigation
Green roofs can help mitigate the urban heat island effect by reducing surface temperatures in urban areas, which can lead to cooler and more comfortable living environments while reducing energy consumption for air conditioning.
