Innovation technologies in Green Roof systems

Abstract

This article analyses both traditional green roof structures and innovative modular green roof systems. Project design and construction of new buildings with smart green technologies is a main trend in the process of mitigation climate change, because in most European countries the construction sector consumes approximately one third of the total energy used. Despite a wide range of proposed initiatives in the construction sector measures mainly focused on energy-saving technologies, alternative energy resources and methods to bring multiple economic profit and great environment benefits.
