A Green Roof is simply a rooftop with a layer of vegetation growing on it. This leads to many proven environmental, social, and economic benefits for the roof owner and surrounding area. For more detailed information on the benefits of green roofing, please go to our Benefits page

With a vegetated green rooftop, the harmful sun rays are absorbed by the plant and used for energy via photosynthesis. This effect cools the surrounding area while protecting the rooftop and building below it.

Our UrbanE modules allow every rooftop owner to grow a beautiful green roof on their existing or newly constructed rooftop while getting the most bang for their buck.
