A green roof, also known as a living roof or vegetative roof, is a roofing system that incorporates vegetation and planting on the roof surface. It provides numerous environmental benefits, such as improved stormwater management by reducing runoff and filtering pollutants. Green roofs also offer thermal insulation, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling. They enhance biodiversity by providing habitat for birds, insects, and plants. Furthermore, green roofs contribute to urban aesthetics and help mitigate the urban heat island effect. They can be implemented on various types of buildings, including residential, commercial, and institutional structures.
