While many researchers understood that green roofs were multi functional because of their ability to reduce heating and air conditioning costs detain stormwater and absorb carbon dioxide it.
Green roof co2.
The plants in a green roof filter particulate matter from the air and convert co2 into oxygen.
Plants absorb sunlight 50 is absorbed and 30 reflected.
Like any forested or vegetation covered area a patch of green on top of a roof should theoretically lower levels of carbon dioxide in the air as well.
Plants breathe in the greenhouse gas like we.
Reduces the ambient temperature.
It takes seven years for the roof to offset the carbon used for its building materials and become truly carbon.
With a green roof you are contributing to air purification.
So this helps to create a cooler and more pleasant climate.
