(the greenest roof is the one you don’t replace)
A green roof helps the environment in many ways. By replacing the typical, black asphalt roof that gets very hot on a sunny day, a green roof helps cool a building and makes the air conditioner work less, saving energy. The local, indigenous species planted on a roof will remove carbon from the atmosphere and release oxygen. Rain water will mostly be collected and absorbed by the roof vegetation providing valuable rain water storm mangement controls.
Storm water runoff carrying oil, gasoline and chemical by-products are often the cause of pollution to rivers, streams and bays preventing the enjoyment to the beach and boating communitites when high bacteria counts close our waters.
Very little maintenance is required when a green roof is installed properly. Contact Greener Country at 1-877-680-6010 anywhere in the N.Y. metropolitan area for installation estimates, ask for Robert.
Case Study: Myrtle Ave,
Brooklyn, NY
A Brooklyn condo board began with a leaky roof.
Understanding that it needed to be replaced to be watertight, they asked themselves “What else should our roof do?” They answered by deciding that they wanted a roof that was not only watertight but that also provided a beautiful community space.
This objective lead them to Roof Services and our green roof partner firm, Greensulate. Together we installed a new TPO roof system with a 20 year warranty and an semi-intensive garden roof which features paths and decks set among a rolling garden.
