A typical %26quot;green roof%26quot; is one that has a membrane based system which collects and diverts water to native plant systems which are planted on the rooftop.Green Roofs of this type:
1. Make a building more energy efficient by absorbing sunlight which would have heated up the building and also insulating from cold in the winter.
2. Keeps water from the roof which deteriorates most roofing materials reducing or eliminating the need to change roofing material. Generally when tearing off a roof, the materials torn off go into a landfill
