Green Building Green Roofs
Green Building Green Roofs refers to sustainable building practices that incorporate vegetation on rooftops to help reduce energy consumption, improve air quality, manage stormwater runoff, and create green space in urban environments. Green roofs can be extensive, with low-maintenance, drought-resistant plants, or intensive, with a greater variety of vegetation requiring more maintenance. This eco-friendly design element helps to mitigate the urban heat island effect, provide habitat for wildlife, and enhance the overall sustainability of a building.
