Applications
There are three main types of green roofs. Extensive is a shallow media planted in sedums that is usually used to cover large expansive roofs for purely functional efficiency. Semi-Intensive media has an increased organics content which can be installed at a deeper depth, supporting a wider range of plants including perennials. Intensive media can be a combination of multiple layered systems with deeper soil depths and can support full scale landscapes, from sod to shrubs and trees and even intensive agriculture. Many of these types of installations are not only functional from a building performance efficiency but also enhance the aesthetic value by creating usable outdoor landscapes with paths and leisure areas.
