Green Roof in Eco Friendly Structures

 Green roofs are a great way to increase the efficiency and energy efficiency of your home. They also help keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which can save you money on energy bills. Green roofs can be used with almost any type of structure, from single family homes to commercial buildings such as offices and schools.

Green roofs are a great way to add greenery and reduce stormwater runoff, but they can be challenging to install.

If you want to green up your roof, there are two main options: installing a green roof or adding plants to an existing roof. Both methods have their pros and cons, but the first option is more expensive and requires more work.

Installing a green roof is relatively easy for homeowners who have access to a lot of space on their property. If you don't have enough room for a full-fledged garden, consider installing a small garden instead. A small garden can be installed on top of an existing roof as well as an additional layer that is placed on top of the existing roof for extra insulation.

The second option involves adding plants to your existing roof. This method isn't ideal for all homeowners because it requires some extra work from your landscaping crew and may require special equipment depending on how much space you have available inside your home or office building. The good news is that adding plants to an existing structure doesn't take much time or money either.

A green roof is a growing medium on the uppermost part of a building, primarily used to prevent water runoff, decrease heat loss and improve the appearance of the structure. Through proper management and regular maintenance, it can also reduce energy costs by reducing air conditioning requirements.

A green roof can be an attractive addition to any building, but it has its own set of challenges to be overcome. For example, how do you ensure that there is enough soil underneath the roofing material? If you don't have enough soil available, then your roofing material will start to sag and deteriorate over time. The other problem with having an insufficient amount of soil is that water tends to collect in areas where there isn't enough soil. This creates problems for your structure because it can cause damage by causing mold or mildew to grow on your roofing materials.

To solve these issues, some companies have started using synthetic turf or other types of artificial materials as their green roof material instead of real grasses or mosses. These materials are durable and do not require watering regularly like natural grasses do so they last longer than traditional green roofs do before needing replacement or repair work (which may involve removing existing vegetation).
