Structured Summary
- Reduced energy consumption
- Improved insulation
- Lowered urban heat island effect
- Extended roof lifespan
Reduced Energy Consumption
Green roofing can reduce the need for air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter, leading to lower energy consumption and cost savings.
Improved Insulation
Green roofs provide additional insulation, reducing heat transfer through the roof and improving the overall energy efficiency of a building.
Lowered Urban Heat Island Effect
Green roofs help mitigate the urban heat island effect by absorbing and deflecting heat, reducing the overall temperature in urban areas and decreasing the need for energy-intensive cooling systems.
Extended Roof Lifespan
The added protection and insulation provided by green roofing can extend the lifespan of a roof, reducing the need for frequent replacements and the associated energy and material costs.
