Benefits of Green Roofs

• Improve insulation: reduce heating and cooling (green roofs could decrease urban temperature)
  
  

• Reduce storm water run off: Carries contaminants, including hazardous heavy metals from paved surfaces and rooftops. Storm water run off has been identified as a major source of water pollution.
  
  

• Filter pollutants and CO2 (carbon dioxide) out of the air
  
  

• Lengthen the life span of roofs resulting in decreased maintenance and savings in replacement costs (economic benefit)
  
  

• Reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect: Conventional building materials absorb the sun's radiation and reflect it back as heat, making cities hotter than surrounding suburbs. Reductions of the Urban Heat Island Effect will also minimise the spreading of dust and production of smog. This, in turn, can potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
