Green Roofing & Energy Costs

Imagine a roof that has a trees around it, has a walk way with grass around it. It has solar panels. Roofs in the future will be green. A green roof has so many advantages. First, it is good for the environment. It reduces urban heat. Usually roofs are dark color which absorb energy from the sun. Which causes the heat to go into the building structure. As a result more electricity has to be spent to reduce the heat in the building structure. When you have a green roof, the plants take in the light for photosynthesis, so the inside of the roof does not have to work so hard to keep the building structure cool. So, the extra money it took to create a green roof, can be returned in reduced energy cost within a few years in some case, and in then a decade in many cases. The future is where the energy costs are lower for the same amount of work. So, people in big cities like New York, Chicago, Dallas, etc will be seeing more and more garden roofs.
