Green Roofs transform urban roofs into greenspace and gardens that improve air and water quality and save energy.
Buildings and hardscape surfaces make cities into giant, heat absorbing sinks, creating an "Urban Heat Island Effect" which contributes to air pollution, increased energy usage and heat-related illnesses. Lack of green space in cities means rainwater runoff carries contaminants from rooftops into our waterways, often releasing untreated sewage with it.
That's why we are committed to accelerating the installation of green roofs, lightweight roofing systems that support vegetation.
Our Green Roofs initiative provides developers, communities and government with modeling of green roof performance, materials and installation services.
Together, we can help our cities breathe easier.
