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 and filter rainwater, reducing the burden on stormwater systems and preventing pollution of waterways.
Extended Roof Lifespan
The protective layer of vegetation on green roofs shields the roofing materials from the elements, leading to a longer lifespan for the roof.
Improved Air Quality
Green roofs help to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to better air quality in urban areas.
Financial Incentives
Many local governments and organizations offer financial incentives, such as tax credits or grants, for installing eco-friendly roofing systems, providing additional cost savings.
