Benefits of Green Roofs As simple as 1-2-3. 1 A protection fleece is laid out over the entire roof area • Reduce heating by adding mass and thermal resistance value. • Reduce cooling loads on a building by up to ninety percent – a concentration of green roofs in an urban area can even reduce the city's average temperatures during the summer. • Natural habitat creation. 2 The pre-planted modules are laid directly on to the fleece covered roof area • Filter pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air which helps lower disease rates such as asthma. • Help to insulate a building for sound; the soil helps to block lower frequencies and the plants block higher frequencies. • With green roofs, water is stored by the substrate and then taken up by the plants from where it is returned to the atmosphere through transpiration and evaporation. 3 A pebble margin can be applied for that finishing touch • Green roofs not only retain rainwater, but also moderate the temperature of the water and act as natural filters for any of the water that happens to run off.
