Green Roof
High solar reflectance and green roofs
reduce heat gain on upper floors and
the urban heat island effect. Moreover,
vegetated roofs can also contribute other
environmental benefits e.g. sustainable
storm water management, biodiversity,
as well as other social and psychological
benefits to the community as a whole.
