Visualize Vegetated Roofs
July 2, 2009
Green roofs have a waterproof membrane covered with soil and vegetation. Rooftop gardens and green space will be incorporated in the construction at the Navy Yard at Noisette. Green roofs deliver lots of benefits especially in an urban setting, for example:
Grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers
Reduce heating and cooling loads on a building
Increase roof life span
Reduce stormwater runoff
Filter pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air
Provide sound insulation for the building
Filter pollutants rainwater
Increase wildlife
