1. Reduced Urban Heat Island Effect: Green roofs and walls help to reduce the urban heat island effect by absorbing heat and reducing the amount of heat that is reflected back into the atmosphere.
2. Improved Air Quality: They help to improve air quality by capturing particulate matter and absorbing gaseous pollutants.
3. Reduced Energy Consumption: Green roofs and walls reduce energy consumption by regulating temperatures inside buildings, which reduces the need for heating and cooling.
4. Improved Stormwater Management: They help to reduce stormwater runoff by absorbing and retaining rainwater.
5. Increased Biodiversity: Green roofs and walls provide habitats for plants and animals in urban areas, increasing biodiversity and supporting local ecosystems.
6. Sound Insulation: They help to reduce noise pollution by absorbing and reflecting sound, making them ideal solutions for buildings located in noisy areas.
7. Increased Aesthetics: Green roofs and walls improve the aesthetics of urban landscapes by adding color and texture to buildings and urban environments.
8. Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Green roofs and walls can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the amount of energy needed to heat and cool buildings.
