Green and living roofs are layers of vegetation that sit on top of a conventional roof surface. They offer a very wide range of environmental and economic benefits; in particular their insulation and cooling properties, ability to significantly reduce rainwater runoff from roofs, and their value in promoting biodiversity and habitat in built-up areas. Green roofs have come to be significant elements of sustainable and green construction. Moreover, because they are often highly visible, they signal intent for sustainable building and can give a very positive and distinctive image to a building or development.
