GREEN ROOFS:
Green roof infrastructure promises to become an
an increasingly important option for building
owners and community planners. Green roofs
can address many of the challenges facing urban
residents. It is well proven that green roofs are
an investment which provides a significant
number of social, environmental and economical
economical benefits.

3. USAGES
There are two main usages forGreen Roofs:
A functional& accessibleroofgarden with aesthetic, recreational& socialbenefits;
ahabitat forfloraand faunaasan alternative fornatural habitats within the city,whichmay ormay not contribute to the
aesthetics ofthe city.
Deciding whichutilizationto followis essential and shouldbe considered during the project planningstage, prior to
commencingdesign, in allthe cases, plant species must be suited to the nature ofthe green roofbeing planned.

4. TYPESOFGREENROOFS:
Therearethreegeneral types of green roofs thatcanbe differentiatedmainlyby cost, depth of growing medium and types of plants
used:-

5. EXTENSIVEGREENROOFS
An extensive green roof hasa shallowgrowing medium containinglittlenutrientswhichis suitablefor less demanding andlow growing
plant communities. In Extensive green roofs, landscapingis designed to be more self-sustaining,requiringless maintenanceand fewer
expenses thanothersystems. Since theyarelighter andrequire less structuralsupport, they arewellsuitedto roofs withlittleload-
bearing capacity.They areoften not accessible. Extensive greenroofs areoften suitablefor retrofit installationson existing buildings,
dueto theirrelativelylow load implications, althoughstructuralengineers must be consultedfor anysuchapplications.

6. SEMI-INTENSIVEGREENROOFS
Semi-Intensive Green Roofs interms of requirements fall in between Extensive andIntensive Green Roof. More maintenance,higher
costs andmore weightarethe characteristicsfor thisgreenroof type compared tothatof theExtensive GreenRoof. Itcanbe accessible
butit is more likely to be only overlooked.

7. INTENSIVEGREENROOFS
Intensive GreenRoofs havea deep growing medium thatsupportsa varietyof landscapedesign andgrowth. Theyaddconsiderably
more weightto roofs; thusrequiringadditional structuralsupport andadded costs. Theyaremostly accessible andareused as
recreationalspaces, therefore safetyfeaturesshould be considered to allow publicaccess. Theamountof maintenancefor Intensive
green roofs is thehighestamong thethreetypes of greening. Thereareno limitations in design and individuality.
In Green roof technology, thecomplete systems arebuilt on-siteandareflexible interms of types and natureof growing medium,
drainageandprotection layers. Thecorrectchoice of components is thekey to maintainingroof conditions and sustainingthe green
roof.
