In some cities, this can help meet water management requirements or qualify for assistance programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A roof inspection also makes it possible to verify whether the existing drainage is sufficient, including drains, slopes, and protection elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3) Thermal comfort and energy performance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A green roof helps stabilize the roof temperature.

A vegetated roof helps reduce this phenomenon at the neighbourhood level.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5) Brand image, ESG, and attractiveness<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many companies, a green roof is a concrete action within an environmental approach, and sometimes even a marketing or HR argument.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Technical points to validate before choosing a green roof<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Structural capacity<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the number one point: even an extensive system adds weight, including substrate, water, and the system itself.
