Functional green roofs offer a smart, cost-effective solution for buildings seeking performance-driven sustainability. Designed for low maintenance and tailored to meet regulatory, incentive, or environmental goals, these systems deliver maximum value with minimal upkeep. Whether you’re aiming to manage stormwater, earn LEED® credits, or enhance energy efficiency, functional green roofs provide a reliable and attractive path forward.
Functional green roofs are available in two configurations—ultra-extensive and extensive—primarily distinguished by their maintenance requirements: ultra-extensive systems require virtually no maintenance and use hardy, self-sustaining plant species, while extensive systems involve minimal upkeep. These options are ideal for non-visible rooftops where regular maintenance access is limited
