  By protecting roof membranes from extreme temperature fluctuations and ultraviolet radiation, a TectaGreen™ green roof can double the life span of a conventional roof, and provide energy savings by reducing heating and cooling costs. TectaGreen can also improve site utilization by reducing the impervious surface area of a building to increase potential square footage for construction. And, because TectaGreen conforms to the rigorous Green Building Rating System standards created by the U.S. Green Building Council there are inherent savings including Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for tax benefits. The LEED program was created to provide a national standard for the building industry. The TectaGreen system contributes directly towards a maximum of 3 points. These points generate tax credit in many states, including Maryland, New York, and Massachusetts.
