    This document summarizes green roofs, including: - Extensive green roofs have shallow soil and require minimal maintenance, while intensive green roofs have deeper soil and support more plant diversity but require more upkeep. - Green roofs provide benefits like reducing urban heat island effect, retaining stormwater, and insulating buildings. They also have initial higher costs and structural requirements. - Proper construction considers factors like slope, climate, and includes layers like a waterproof membrane, drainage layer, and growing medium. - With increasing urbanization, green roofs can help address issues like falling groundwater and rising energy demands if their adoption is further encouraged through subsidies.

    The key takeaways are that green roofs can help reduce the urban heat island effect and filter pollutants from the air. They are categorized as extensive or intensive depending on the depth of the growing medium and types of plants used.

    The two main types of green roofs are extensive and intensive. Extensive green roofs have a shallow growing medium and require little maintenance while intensive green roofs have a deeper growing medium and allow for a wider variety of plants.

    Some benefits of green roofs include reducing energy usage, managing stormwater runoff, improving air quality by filtering pollutants, providing green space in urban areas, and increasing biodiversity.

    INTRODUCTION

     50% of world’s population living in a metropolitan areas


    - 60% expected by 2030 due to population growth

    80% of global carbon dioxide emission attributed to cities

    Urban heat island effect


    - increased energy requirement
    - increased smog formation
    Definition:-
    A green roof is a roof
    of a building that is
    partially or completely
    covered with vegetation
    and a growing medium,
    planted over a
    waterproofing membrane.
    It may also include
    additional layers such as a
    root barrier and drainage
    and irrigation systems.
    NECESSITY OF GREEN ROOF
     The groundwater resources in India
    are greatly diminishing by several
    centimeters per year and are not being
    replaced. As global warming becomes
    more and more of an issue, and towns
    and cities expand, green space is
    becoming more and more important.
    Green roofs are particularly useful at
    filtering out pollutants from the air and
    as such, purifying it.
    TYPES OF GREEN ROOF
    Green roofs are generally categorized as:-

    (i) Extensive

    (ii) Intensive
    EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOF
    Extensive Green Roofs are well suited to roofs with little
    load bearing capacity and sites which are not meant to be
    used as roof gardens.

    The growing medium, typically made up of a mineral-


    based mixture of sand, gravel, crushed brick, leca, peat,
    organic matter, and some soil, varies in depth between 5-
    15 cm
    Extensive green roofs are often not accessible and are
    characterized by:
    • low weight,
    • low capital cost,
    • low plant diversity, and
    • minimal maintenance requirements.
    Extensive Green Roof
    EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOF
    INTENSIVE GREEN ROOF
     These roof are also referred to as high-profile – They look like
    traditional roof gardens because a much wider variety of plant
    material can be included since growing media depths are increased.
     These roofs generally require more effort for the tending of plants,
    whereas the term extensive roofs call for a more passive approach.
     The growing medium is often soil based, ranging in depth from 20–
    60 cm.
    Intensive green roofs are often accessible and are
    characterized by:
    • Deeper soil and greater weight,
    • Higher capital costs,
    • Increased plant diversity, and
    • More maintenance requirements

    PRIVATE BENIFITS

    Heat shield
    LIMITATION OF GREEN ROOF
    The main limitation of green roofs is the higher initial cost.

    Some existing buildings cannot be retrofitted with certain


    kinds of green roof because of the weight load of the substrate
    and vegetation exceeds permitted static loading.

    Depending on what kind of green roof it is, the maintenance


    costs could be higher, but some types of green roof have little
    or no ongoing cost.
    ROOF GARDEN vs. GREEN ROOF
    A roof garden is actually very different from a Green
    roof, although the two terms are often and incorrectly used
    interchangeably. A roof garden is an area that is generally
    used for recreation, entertaining, and as an additional
    outdoor living space for the building's residents. It may
    include planters, plants, dining and lounging furniture,
    outdoor structures such as pergolas and sheds, and
    automated irrigation and lighting systems. A roof garden re-
    establishes the relationship between man and nature that can
    be lost in urban environments.
    COST
    Given various assembly types and project descriptions
    costs can range from Rs.5500/- Sq.m. to Rs.6900/- Sq.m.
    or more. These figures include membrane through plants.
    Cost per square meter depends on many factors:
    i) The size and slope of the roof,
    ii) Depth and complexity of the system,
    iii) Height and accessibility from the ground,
    iv) Cost of labor, and need for specialized elements,
    such as drains, railings, pavers, slope stabilization
    measure, etc.
    MAINTENANCE
     Maintenance activities that must be performed on a green
    roof are weeding, replanting, and inspections of the
    waterproof membrane.
     Depending on whether the green roof is extensive or
    intensive, required plant maintenance will range from two
    to three yearly inspections to check for weeds or damage.
     Eventually, after 30-50 years, the membrane will have to
    be replaced.
    CONCLUSION
     Green roofs provide numerous benefits to the building itself as
    well as the environment and society as a whole, but lack
    widespread awareness.

     Future developments in materials and installation techniques


    should lower upfront costs, but further subsidies are needed to
    make the technology accessible to the general population.

     In present state as land is becoming scarce in urban areas, storm


    water drainage problem is growing, and energy prices are
    increasing for building heating and cooling, green roofs are
    becoming increasingly viable.
