Vegetative roofing systems provide numerous benefits to the buildings and environments in which they are used including reduced heat island effect, lowered energy usage, and improved air quality.  Live roofing can be incorporated into most designs and can add efficiency, aesthetics, and value to your building. Although traditionally more expensive to install than traditional roofing, vegetative roofing provides a number of long term cost savings, may qualify for federal tax credits, and is a solution for increasingly prevalent stormwater runoff regulations.

Buildings are changing from older structures to modern ones that integrate sustainable and technologically advanced design features. Governments and businesses are seeking to increase productivity while reducing their carbon footprint, making functional and sustainable buildings a necessity. One way to achieve this is through the use of vegetative roofing systems, which offer benefits such as reduced heat island effect, lowered energy usage, and improved air quality. While more expensive to install initially, vegetative roofing provides long-term cost savings, may qualify for federal tax credits, and can help with stormwater runoff regulations.
