Rainwater retention
Green roofs capture 60-80% of rainfall and return it to the atmosphere as water vapour, thereby improving its microclimate. They prevent city sewage systems from overloading by mitigating the effect of flash floods in urban settings.
Better performing solar panels
Green roof plants can absorb up to 90% of sunray. Transpiration aids heat dissipiation – the reason green roofs do not heat above 25-27°C even under the harshest summer conditions. The optimal temperature for solar panels to perform is around 25°C.

Outstanding energy savings
Retaining the heat inside in winter and keeping it outside in summer reduces a building’s temperature fluctuations. The excellent thermal insulation properties of green roofs significantly reduce cooling and heating energy consumption.
Mechanical guard
Green roofs protect the building structure from climate extremes, UV exposure and mechanical damage. Green roofs extend the longevity of roof membranes.

Cleaner air
Green roofs can capture airborne particles and other pollutants. They can mitigate climate change by reducing CO2 in the atmosphere.
Biodiversity
Green roofs virtually act as natural habitat for many living organisms in urban settings exhibiting a wide diversity of flora and fauna. They help in restoring the ecological cycle damaged during the course of urbanization.

Raising living standards
An increase of accessible green space changes the depressing dullness of typical city roofs to a more relaxing, livable environment.
A hike in the value of properties
Chances are that an additional green surface e.g. a green roof increases the value of the property. Statistics in various regions indicate that properties with extra green areas outsell their couterparts much faster.

Environmentally conscious
Environmentally conscious constructions project a positive image of their owners portraying them as people committed to preserve the ecosystem with sustainability as their top priority.
Oxygen production via photosynthesis
Green roofs produce oxygen by utilizing up to 90% of solar energy and sequestering CO2.
