Hundreds of scientific research programmes by various universities and independent or government institutions all underline a fundamental correlation between green roofs and its ecological benefits as being a positive measure in combating deteriorating climatic conditions caused by green house emission.

The effect of ecological benefits where development of green roof constructions occurs applies to all climatic zones.  Various studies that prove ecological benefits by means of green roof construction methods are derived to redress various climatic conditions but bear the same common global perspectives.

1. Restoring balance to the environment
2. Providing for a friendlier habitat for urbanised civilisations.
3. In the wider context however, green roof construction may be part of a global initiative to avert catastrophic natural disasters that increasingly assumes destructive proportions to properties and commerce, and other human endeavours.

As millions of square metres of green roofs are created worldwide, urban folks are beginning to recognise and enjoy its effects.  We, the environmental designers of cities, have begun to realise that roofs on buildings need not be wastelands or the equivalent of “frying pans”.  They can be gardens or simply green areas upon which we, the urban dwellers, can enjoy the visual pleasure of its vegetations, but also be the beneficiaries of the stabilizing climatic effects green roofs provide.

• Green roofs curb the “urban-heat-island” effect of cities to reduce heat by an average of 2oC.
• Green roofs can cut heat loss from buildings by 50%.
• Green roofs reduce air-conditioning costs by minimum 25%.
