Check out our FAQ-
Save on energy
Green roofs reduce the surface temperature of a roof by minimizing heat-absorbing surfaces. As a result, the interior of the building stays cooler and energy costs go down.
-
Reduce storm water runoff
A TectaGreen roof retains 60-90% of storm water, allowing it to evaporate rather than drain into a retention pond and prevent flooding. It can result in financial incentives and reduced local storm water fees.
-
Earn LEED points
Because TectaGreen conforms to the rigorous Green Building Rating System standards created by the U.S. Green Building Council, there are inherent savings in a TectaGreen roof, including Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for tax benefits.
GreenWise
On a 90 degree day, a normal roof is a scorching 160 degrees. But a green roof is only 95 degrees, which means your cooling system won’t have to work nearly as hard.
Ask an Expert
What makes a green roof sustainable?
A healthy green roof is a living system that is changing and adapting. A green roof will continue to be sustainable if it receives these minimal inputs (which could actually come from nature).
How many LEED points can a green roof qualify for?
Green roofs are mentioned as a potential technology in several points. In the real world, they can easily achieve 3-9 points, although others claim their value is much more than that.
