Reduced Environmental Impact
Green roofs help reduce the urban heat island effect, decrease air pollution, and provide habitats for wildlife. They also contribute to carbon sequestration and help mitigate climate change.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Green roofs act as natural insulators, reducing the need for heating and cooling, thus lowering energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. They also help regulate indoor temperatures, leading to lower energy bills.
Extended Roof Lifespan
The protective layer of vegetation and soil on green roofs shields the underlying roof membrane from UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and mechanical damage, leading to a longer lifespan for the roof.
Enhanced Stormwater Management
Green roofs absorb and retain rainwater, reducing the burden on stormwater systems and preventing runoff pollution. This helps alleviate the strain on urban drainage infrastructure and minimizes the risk of flooding.
