Summary of the benefits of green roofs.

Class	Function
Ecological	Conservation of biodiversity, habitat creation and improving the ecological-biological quality of the city
Eclipse	Reducing the effect of heat islands and cold winds through thermal insulation
Environmental	Improving air quality by purifying airborne particles, exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide, reducing noise through sound insulation, reducing the volume of rainwater runoff by preserving surface sewage, increasing water quality and preventing pollution, reducing the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation up to 99%
Economic and cultural	Reducing the cost of artificial ventilation, increasing the lifespan of roof insulation, increasing the value of the property, increasing the sense of belonging, saving energy by insulation in winter)
