Benefits of a TectaGreen Roof

A TectaGreen roof offers a variety of benefits from economic to environmental to aesthetic. No matter what your facility’s goals may be, our experts will design a green roof that accomplishes your objectives.

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.

Extend roof life.

A green roof helps to protect roof membranes from extreme temperature fluctuations and the negative impact of ultraviolet radiation. A TectaGreen roof can double the lifespan of a conventional roof, helping protect your investment and make your building maintenance budget go farther.

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.

Reduce Urban Heat Island effect.

A green roof surface absorbs solar radiation and provides natural evaporative cooling. In urban environments where building density is high, green roofs mimic a natural landscape otherwise unavailable at ground level.

Improve appearance.

By creating a functional and aesthetic environment, all TectaGreen roofs provide visual appeal. And an intensive system can add even more, utilizing trees, shrubs and other larger plants in a wider variety. Green space is inviting to employees or tenants and can provide respite in an urban setting.

Reduce smog.

40-60% less CO2 and airborne particulates which contribute to smog.
