Benefits Of Green Roofs
1) Decreases Storm Water Runoff
在下雨时,绿色屋顶能够保留60%到100%的水。当水落到一个典型的屋顶上时,它通常会流入雨水渠,沿路收集污染,污染我们的水道或增加需要处理的污水量。绿色屋顶“收获”雨水,并将其充分利用。
2) Urban Heat Island Effect is Reduced
Vegetation reflects solar radiation that would otherwise be absorbed by roof surfaces. If an urban area has numerous green roofs (or even as few as 5%), heat island effect is markedly lowered.
3) Improving Thermal Performance
Heat flow through the roofing system is reduced by 70-90% in the summer and 10-30% in the winter.
4) Protection of the Roof Membranes
增加屋顶膜的使用寿命。植物和生长介质吸收太阳射线,保护屋顶材料免受紫外线破坏。绿色屋顶还保护薄膜免受极端温度变化的影响,这是加速降解的另一个原因。根据宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研究,绿色屋顶将延长屋顶寿命两到三倍。*
5) Sound Insulation
Sound proofing. An extensive green roof can reduce sound from outside by 40 decibels, while an intensive roof can reduce sound by 46-50 decibels (Peck et al. 1999).
6) Aesthetic Appeal, Public Relations and Recreational Green Space
增加了美学吸引力和功能性。自然放松;植物的视觉、声音、气味、颜色和运动促进心理健康。
7) Sustaining Local Biodiversity
When planted with native vegetation – a habitat for indigenous species.
8) Improving Air Quality and Reducing Airborne Particulates
Carbon is sequestered. Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and stored as carbon in biomass. As well, airborne particulates and pollution is taken up and rendered harmless by plant material.

really cool post. Just a minor correction: The photo labeled ‘RIchmond, Virginia’ is actually in Toronto. In fact, it’s of the same rooftop as the image below it. The building is located on Richmond street.
