What Is a Green Roof?
A green or living roof is completely or partially covered with living vegetation. The plants or flowers are planted on top of a growing medium and waterproof membrane that stops water from entering the building below. Many eco-friendly green roofs also have a barrier that keeps roots from growing and damaging the structure. These roofs can provide many benefits to your home and community. Some of those benefits include:
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- Managing stormwater
- Improving air quality
- Combatting the urban heat island effect
- Saving energy
These structures also create shelter and protection for wildlife, support plant growth, and improve mental health.
