Job Creation
Green roofs are high quality and are in demand. The high-quality green roofing system will use contained green space with plants, drainage layers, and filter cloth. Since they are becoming more popular, this is creating more green jobs. This is creating significant growth in manufacturing, design, plant growth and maintenance for future green jobs.
Stormwater Management
Since the roofs absorb any rainwater by the substrate, it will be transferred over to plants and released back into the atmosphere through condensation. The reduction of stormwater runoff will reduce damage to your building’s exterior and will decrease the load on sewer systems.
Design benefits
With a Green roof, you will have improved aesthetics which creates a beautiful environment. Having a roof that also doubles as a private garden will create a unique look and impressive look to your building.
