Because of their many energy-saving and environmental benefits, green roofs are a promising technology for energy-efficient buildings. In a green roof, a layer of vegetation covers the surface of a roof to provide shade, cool indoor and outdoor temperatures, stormwater management and many more environmental, social and economic benefits. This online engineering course curated by industry expert Steven Liescheidt, PE, CCS, CCPR describes the benefits of green roofs, including their estimated savings, market potential and technological performance, as well as the warranties, standards and codes related to green roofs.
