Green Roofing Systems

green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane. It may also include additional layers such as a root barrier and drainage and irrigation systems.

Benefits of Green Roof Systems

  1. Green roofs are increasingly critical to maintaining environmental quality, Installing green roofs is one option that can reduce the negative impact of development while providing numerous environmental, economic, and social benefits.
  2. Green roofs improve stormwater management by reducing runoff and improving water quality, conserve energy, mitigate the urban heat island, increase longevity of roofing membranes, reduce noise and air pollution, sequester carbon, increase urban biodiversity by providing habitat for wildlife, provide space for urban agriculture, provide a more aesthetically pleasing and healthy environment to work and live, and improve return on investment compared to traditional roofs.
