Reduction of energy costs
Green roofing helps to insulate buildings, reducing the need for heating and cooling. This can lead to significant energy savings and lower utility bills.
Improved air quality
Plants on green roofs can help filter out pollutants and improve air quality, creating a healthier environment for building occupants and the surrounding community.
Stormwater management
Green roofs can absorb and retain rainwater, reducing the burden on stormwater systems and helping to prevent flooding and erosion.
Extended roof lifespan
The vegetation and protective layers on green roofs can shield the roof membrane from UV radiation and extreme temperatures, extending the lifespan of the roof.
Enhanced urban biodiversity
Green roofs provide habitat for birds, insects, and other wildlife, contributing to urban biodiversity and creating a more sustainable and ecologically diverse urban environment.
