The most significant effect that Green Roofs and Walls provide is building protection.
Building protection is primarily produced by reducing temperature
fluctuations of the building envelope. Decreased temperature fluctuations
reduce the expansion and contraction of building materials. Furthermore,
Green Roofs and Walls also shield the building envelope from ultra-violet rays
and acidic rain. By reducing cracking and carbonization of the building
envelope, the buildings durability is improved and its service-life extended.
