Extensive Living RoofsDefined: Extensive: Thin, unirrigated, drought-tolerant vegetated layers atop of conventional roofs. Intensive: Typically 6+’’ media, usually irrigated, not always drought tolerant, larger plant palate selection atop of conventional roofs.

Living Roof Benefits Reduce Stormwater Runoff Retains up to 60-70% of annual rainfall. The water not retained is discharged dramatically slower than typical roof.

Living Roof Benefits Reduce Stormwater Runoff Mitigate Heat Island Effect At hottest part of summer day: Dark colored roof F Dark colored roof F Light colored roof F Light colored roof F Living roof - 95 F Living roof - 95 F

Living Roof Benefits Reduce Stormwater Runoff Mitigate Heat Island Effect Extend Life of Roof Eliminates UV degradation Reduces temperature variations Expert say 2-5 times the life of the membrane based on German examples

Living Roof Benefits Reduce Stormwater Runoff Mitigate Heat Island Effect Extend Life of Roof Conserve Energy Reduces cooling loads in summer Negligible benefit during winter

Living Roof Benefits Reduce Stormwater Runoff Mitigate Heat Island Effect Extend Life of Roof Conserve Energy Create Wildlife Habitat Birds Pollinators Insects
