ROOF 2 GO
Durable roof
A roof ages fast due to exposure to heat, light and UV radiation. A green roof is cooler than a black roof and it protects the roof against light and UV radiation. The roof ages less rapidly and the lifespan of the roofing is doubled!
Cooling
The temperature of a black roof can climb as high as 85ºC. A green roof on the other hand, only reaches 35ºC! This has a large effect on the inside temperature of the building. A green roof can cool the space directly below with 5ºC. Consequently, you save energy on air conditioning.
Rainwater buffering
Due to a lack of paved surface there is a lot of pressure on the sewage system during heavy rainfall. Green roofs act like a sponge and maintain 60 to 80% more water than a regular roof. It provides a buffer against water overflow in- and outside your house.
CO2 and particulate matter
Vegetation filters particulate matter out of the air and converts CO2 to oxygen. Not much is known yet about extensive sedum roofs concerning this matter. However, research proved that green roofs absorb cadmium, copper, lead and zinc. As a rule, more vegetation equals more impact.
Why A Green Roof ?
Increased yield solar panels
A roof ages fast due to exposure to heat, light and UV radiation. A green roof is cooler than a black roof and it protects the roof against light and UV radiation. The roof ages less rapidly and the lifespan of the roofing is doubled!
Food production
Flat roofs can make a contribution to food production in the city. Good for the environment and your wallet. A distance reduction between harvest and consumption means less transport costs and fresher fruit and vegetables.
Urban Heat Island Effect
Cities consists for a large part of paved, dark surfaces. Because they heat up and radiate this heat, the “Urban Heat Island Effect” occurs. This can result in an up to 5ºC higher temperature than its surroundings. Green roofs can reduce this effect by their cooling effects.
Biodiversity
Green roofs help the conservation and recovery of endangered animals (birds and bees) and plants. They function as stepping-stones, connecting larger habitats like parks, gardens, abandoned building sites and railway-embankments.
