List of featured suppliers of GREEN ROOF SYSTEMS SUDS on Building Products Index
A green roof system refers to a type of roofing system that is designed to support vegetation growth on the roof surface, providing a range of environmental and aesthetic benefits. This type of system is typically comprised of several layers of specialized materials, including a waterproofing membrane, drainage layer, and growing medium for the plants to root in. The end result is a natural, living roof that can help to reduce energy costs, mitigate stormwater runoff, increase biodiversity, and improve air quality. Additionally, the concept of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) refers to a range of design strategies and technologies that are used to manage urban stormwater in a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly manner. SUDS may include features such as green roofs, permeable paving, rain gardens, and other techniques that aim to mimic the natural water cycle and reduce the impact of urbanization on natural water systems.
