What is Green Roof Systems?

You will get a different answer depending on whom you ask. Personally I consider any roofing system that will lower a buildings annual energy bills a green system. These energy efficient systems can lower a buildings energy costs, and help promote a green building.

Various Types of Green Roofs

Garden Roof – A roof consisting of living plants placed on the rooftop.

Solar Roofs – Use solar power to produce energy.

Cool Roofs/Reflective Roofs/White Roofs – These roofs can be TPO, PVC, EPDM, or almost any type of roof system with a reflective coating. These systems can be even more cost efficient when used with the addition of skylights. And today even solar skylights are available.
