It seems to be wetter, warmer and more unpredictable with every year that passes and that's not good news for a lot of us. Luckily people like you are helping to try and reduce the impact of this problem. Climate change is happening all around us and whether you believe we can stop it is almost irrelevant... its how we manage the change on a local level that will determine the regional, national and global future.
There are a number of compelling reasons for choosing a greenroof:
- Economics – greenroofs reduce the need for air conditioning or heating so they save money;
- Feel Good factor – greenroofs look good in any work or home environment and encourage wildlife;
- Environmental – reduction of Water run-off (SUDS), CO2 and oxygen replenishment;
- Planning requirements – many councils now insist on the inclusion of greenroofs in building developments.
The construction industry has seen changes in building technology as a result of climate change; Solar panels, water harvesting, green building materials etc. However, no other green building technology offers as many benefits and opportunities as Greenroofing.
Green roofs improve energy efficiency; they help remove carbon from the atmosphere and give us much needed green spaces, especially in built up areas. And Green Roofs benefit urban drainage and can improve our general well being as well... less dust, cooler air and something nice to look at!
Greenroofs can deliver enormous benefits. With over 30 years experience using vegetation as an engineering tool, our expertise ensures that whatever drives your Green roof (grass roof) project, be it sustainability, ecology, aesthetics or amenity space, we can provide a scheme tailored to your needs.
