Benefits of green roofs
Green roofs have beneficial environmental effects. They offer new habitats for fauna and flora to remain within urban areas and reduce the immediate run-off by rainwater retention on site.
Moreover, green roofs improve the microclimate and reduce dust and smog levels. Green roofs also reduce sound reflection and improve sound insulation. And they protect the waterproofing from UV exposure, heat, cold and hail, which considerably increases the life expectancy of the roof.
