For owners planning to replace their buildings ‘roofs, Advanced Building Consultants recommends they consider the installation of a green roof.
Consider some of the benefits:
- Green roofing systems add usable space and an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the roof, increasing the building’s property value.
- The vegetation and soil layers protect the roofing membranes from the ultraviolet radiation, extending the life of the membranes.
- The soil adds an extra layer of insulation, improving the heating and cooling efficiency of buildings and reducing sound transmission into the building.
- The soil also absorbs rain, reducing storm water runoff.
Advanced Building Consultants conducts studies that evaluate the feasibility of installing a sustainable roofing system, analyzing such factors as the existing roof’s construction, condition, load-bearing capacity, zoning restrictions, and code compliance as well as providing recommendations for the most appropriate type of green roofing system for the building and preliminary budget estimates for its installation.
For building that decide to install a green roof, Advanced Building Consultants can prepare the design and specifications for the project, administer a competitive bidding process, help select a qualified contractor to perform the work, and administer the project to its successful completion.
