A popular method of bringing nature into a city or urban environment, a green roof has substantial benefits for a building.
A green roof is simply a roof that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium.
Can serve several purposes for a building: rainwater attenuation, additional insulation and a habitat for wildlife.
A green roof also provides an aesthetically pleasing landscape plus helps to lower urban air temperatures.
Green Roofs can have many different build-up options depending on the building setting and the desired finished look or use.
A typical green roof build-up consists of:
In most cases, these roofs are either left alone to allow the germination of wind-blown seeds, or alternatively, seeds collected from the local area are scattered over the roof area. Over time an ecosystem of plants and animals will develop on the roof. This is seen as a way of partially mitigating the loss of such ecosystems from existing brownfieLd sites that have been redeveloped.
Brown roofs share many similarites with green roofs, the main difference being that the growing medium (usually locally sourced rubble, gravel, soil, recycled bricks, local vegetation etc.) is carefuLLy selected to meet a specific biodiversity requirement.
