Green roofs
Our company has decided to implement green roofs in our modern new buildings in order to reduce their environmental impact. We designed the green roofs as lawns that cover the roofs of the buildings and which we maintain regularly. In addition to improving air quality, reducing heat effects, and contributing to biodiversity conservation, we also implemented green roofs to reduce the use of air conditioning in our buildings, which has allowed us to reduce energy costs.
Benefits of green roofs
Stormwater Management: Most urban and suburban areas contain large amounts of paved or constructed surfaces which prevent stormwater from being absorbed into the ground. The resulting excess runoff damages water quality by sweeping pollutants into water bodies. Green roofs can reduce the flow of stormwater from a roof by up to 65% and delay the flow rate by up to three hours.
Energy: Green roofs reduce building energy use by cooling roofs and providing shading, thermal mass and insulation.
Biodiversity and Habitat: Green roofs provide new urban habitat for plants and animals, like birds and insects, thereby increasing biodiversity.
Urban Heat Islands: Cities are generally warmer than other areas, as concrete and asphalt absorb solar radiation, leading to increased energy consumption, heat-related illness and death, and air pollution. Green roofs can help reduce this effect.
Roof Longevity: Green roofs are expected to last twice as long as conventional roofs
Aesthetics: Green roofs can add beauty and value to buildings.
Solar energy
We have decided to implement solar panels in our modern new buildings in order to reduce their environmental impact. The solar panels are installed on the roofs of the buildings, which we maintain regularly. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, generating renewable energy, and contributing to climate change mitigation, we also implemented solar panels to reduce the use of traditional energy sources in our buildings, which has allowed us to reduce energy costs.
