Sustainability in roofing is a key concern within the construction industry.
Sustainability in roofing is a key concern within the construction industry.
Roofs represent a large proportion of the surface area for many building typologies, so selecting appropriate roofing systems can significantly reduce Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, lowering the overall carbon cost of construction throughout the building lifecycle. As an example, green roofing systems not only benefit the environment by creating habitats for pollinators, but they also offer a host of advantages. One major benefit is their ability to reduce energy costs. By using materials designed to reflect sunlight and absorb less heat, green roofs help keep properties cool during hot summer months, reducing the need for air conditioning. This lowers energy consumption and ultimately leads to lower utility bills.
