Get three separate bids on a green roof. A green roof, or rooftop garden, is a vegetative layer grown on a rooftop. From industrial facilities to private residences, green roofs can be installed on a wide range of buildings that have the load bearing capabilities. Green roofs, a multi-functional building improvement, have a long list of benefits that include
Increased Longevity - The vegetative covers protects materials from the elements; as a result they have a longer life compared with conventional roof products.
Reduced Energy Use - Green roofs absorb heat and act as insulators for buildings, reducing energy needed to provide cooling and heating.
Stormwater Utility Fee Reduction and Water quality - Green roofs can reduce fees associated with stormwater and slow water runoff while filtering pollutants from rainfall.
Improved Comfort - Green roofs, by reducing heat transfer through the building roof, can improve indoor air comfort and lower stress associated with heat waves.
