Green roofs were traditionally employed for insulation and increased resiliency in cold climate regions of Europe. Modern green roofs are a rapidly developing commercial market in Ontario. Their primary benefit is in maximizing evapotranspiration for water balance targets.
Green roofs are ideal for:
Sites without significant space at ground level for infiltration,
Zero-lot line projects with outdoor amenity requirements,
Projects looking for accreditation with LEED v.4
