Abstract

As land continues to be replaced with impervious surfaces due to population growth and urbanization, the necessity to recover green space is becoming increasingly critical to maintain environmental quality especially influenced by industrial growth. The primary objective of this project by installing green roofs is one option that can reduce the negative impact of industrial development while providing numerous environmental, economic, and social benefits. They can reducing runoff and improving water quality, conserve energy, mitigate the urban heat island, increase longevity of roofing membranes, reduce noise and air pollution, sequester carbon, increase urban biodiversity by providing habitat for wildlife, provide space for urban agriculture, provide a more aesthetically pleasing and healthy environment to work and live, and improve return on investment compared to traditional roofs. Green roofs are known to reduce the electromagnetic radiation from wireless devices like mobile tower and mobile. Rapid runoff from roof surfaces can exacerbate flooding, increase erosion, and may result in raw sewage that is discharged directly into our rivers. The larger amount of runoff also results in a greater quantity of water that must be treated before it is potable. A major benefit of green roofs is their ability to absorb rainwater and release it slowly over a period of several hours. Green roof systems have been shown to retain 40-60% of the rainwater they receive. In addition, green roofs have a longer life-span than standard roofs because they are protected from ultraviolet radiation and the extreme fluctuations in temperature that cause roof membranes to deteriorate. Vegetation helps cool the membrane and the building during the summer as the plants and growing substrate act as an insulation layer, they shade the roof and through evapo-transpiration. Furthermore, the construction and maintenance of green roofs provide business and employment opportunities for roofing contractors, plant producers, landscape designers and contractors, and other green industry members while addressing the issues of environmental stewardship. This paper explains the concept which will helps in maintaining the local environment with healthy and aesthetic surroundings. Moreover, the idea in this paper will also covers the central government mission “Swakhsa Bharat”, “Make in India”, “Swarojgar Yogna” and “Kausal Vikash” with sustainable environmental development.
