A. GREEN ROOF SUCCESS FACTORS reen roofs enhance urban areas by creating additional green spaces. Unlike roof gardens, which are subject to numerous constraints and are expensive to install and maintain, extensive green roofs are easily installed at significantly lower cost. The success of a green roof project depends on four key factors: A thorough technical study of the project to determine the most appropriate type of vegetation. The Vegetal i.D. study considers the area to be planted, the installation process and the subsequent maintenance requirements. A high-performance green roof system:...

C. Benefits of green roofs : cost savings for the owner ompared to other green technologies, green roofs afford a wide variety of cost-saving and environmental benefits. While there are many similarities among green roofs, each installation is unique. Hence, all technical performance details provided will vary by region, climate, building and green roof type and design. Building envelope protection Applying a green roof to your roof surface protects the waterproofing membrane from UV radiation and minimizes daily temperature fluctuations. Compared to a conventional roof, a green roof can decrease...

C. Green roof benefits environmental savings Stormwater management Green Roofs absorb anywhere from 20 to 100% of the precipitation that falls on the roof, depending on the season, previous rainfall, etc... In general, in the summer green roofs retain between 70% and 100% of rainfall events and in the winter less than 30%. Green roofs help reduce the volume of storm water flowing into streams and drainage systems. The Green Roof plants and growing media system filter pollutants and heavy metals from runoff water. In addition, runoff is delayed and the flow rate is reduced. It is inexact to use...
