Greatly increases the life expectancy

• If you eliminate ultraviolet radiation, punctures and high temperature fluctuations, a green roof can double the life expectancy. 

Reduces heating and cooling costs

• Your entire building, and specifically your roof, generates heat energy. The fact is, energy cannot be created or destroyed. Installing a green roof can reduce the surface temperature through evaporation, providing a positive impact for the building owner.

Reduces the urban heat island effect

• City and suburban areas are experiencing unnecessarily inflated temperatures due to growth of structures and paving. Installing vegetation on your roof can help mitigate this global problem.  

Storm Water Retention

• Your typical extensive green roof system (approximately 4 inches in height) will retain about 60% of an average 2-inch rainfall. This will help elevate the storm water problem. 

Water Filter and Air Cleaner

• Roof gardens help filter the quality of air and absorb pollutants. Green systems have been shown to reduce sulfur dioxide, nitrous acid and cadmium.
