- Green roofing reduces energy consumption and lowers utility costs.
- It improves air quality and reduces urban heat island effect.
- Green roofing extends the lifespan of the roof and reduces maintenance costs.
- It provides natural insulation and soundproofing for buildings.
- Green roofing contributes to environmental sustainability and biodiversity.
Reduced Energy Consumption and Lower Utility Costs
Green roofing helps to insulate buildings, reducing the need for heating and cooling, which in turn lowers energy consumption and utility costs.
Improved Air Quality and Reduced Urban Heat Island Effect
Green roofing helps to filter pollutants and particulate matter from the air, while also reducing the urban heat island effect by absorbing and reflecting less heat than traditional roofing materials.
Extended Roof Lifespan and Reduced Maintenance Costs
The layer of vegetation and soil on green roofs acts as a protective barrier, shielding the roof from UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, and physical damage, thus extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
Natural Insulation and Soundproofing
The vegetation and soil on green roofs provide natural insulation, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, as well as soundproofing benefits for the building.
Environmental Sustainability and Biodiversity
Green roofing contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing stormwater runoff, providing habitat for wildlife, and increasing green space in urban areas, thus promoting biodiversity.
