While all green roofs have similar functions, each installation is unique, so technical performance will vary by region, climate, building and green roof type and design. The benefits described below –
Benefit: R Roofshade gardening is Energy efficient
- Reduce the heat flux through the roof, and less energy for cooling or heating can lead to significant cost savings. Shading the outer surface of the building envelope has been shown to be more effective than internal insulation.
- In summer, the green roof protects the building from direct solar heat.
- In winter, the green roof minimizes heat loss through added insulation on the roof.
- Energy conservation translates into fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Benefit: Roof shade garden improve air quality
- Plant leaves trap dust particles from the air, and evapotranspiration cools ambient temperatures.
- Less ground level ozone + less heat = less smog.
