‘Green roofs’ refer to specialized roofing systems that support vegetative growth on rooftops. This workshop aims to introduce building professionals, developers and city planners with the concept of green roofs and demonstrate how this technology can address sustainability in the urban environment. The benefits of green roofs were demonstrated through rigorous scientific research. Design considerations were also discussed through examination of commercially available green roof systems and with reference to current green roof guidelines and standards.
