Green Roof Function

Green roof function.

Green roofs mitigate water runoff and sewer overflows. Here at the greenroof we love a good time. Green roofs are also known as vegetative or eco roofs. Get in touch with us to organise a function for any occasion.

In addition to thermal insulation a green roof also has a sound insulating effect. Although there are no precise definitions of them an extensive green roof has a shallow growing medium usually less than six inches with a modest roof load limited plant diversity minimal. Green roofs serve several purposes for a building such as absorbing rainwater providing insulation creating a habitat for wildlife increasing benevolence and decreasing stress of the people around the roof by providing a more aesthetically pleasing landscape and helping to lower urban air temperatures and mitigate the heat island effect. Sound waves are absorbed and reflected.

Once you have more than r 20 in a roof assembly that is you meet the code things pretty much don t matter. The substrate blocks the lower frequencies while the plants absorb the higher frequencies. The combination of substrate plants and the embedded air in the green roof system provide good sound insulation. Green roofs a green roof is a vegetative layer grown on a rooftop of a building.

A green roof is a layer of vegetation planted over a waterproofing system that is installed on top of a flat or slightly sloped roof. Green roof growing media retain rainwater and together with plants return a portion of this water to the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration evapotranspiration. They fall into three main categories extensive intensive and semi intensive. Vegetation and soil act as a sponge absorbing and filtering water that would normally plunge down gutters wash through polluted streets and over tax sewer systems.

Stormwater that does leave the roof is delayed and reduced in volume. Stormwater that runs off a green roof is cleaner than runoff from a conventional roof. Green roof service green roof technology is the leader in providing integrated architectural design state of the art engineering project management of installations and maintenance solutions of living green on any impervious area throughout the world and in any stage of the project. A green roof s plants remove air particulates produce oxygen and provide shade.

This captured water is then evapotranspired back to the atmosphere through the green roof vegetation. Green roofs save energy compared to uninsulated roofs or poorly insulated roofs or even better black poorly insulated roofs. What is a green roof. Also known as roof gardens these green roofs serve as a large contributor to energy efficiency of buildings.

Green roofs are unique in that they have the ability to capture and retain a volume depth of rain from each rainstorm.
