Quality of Life
Health, Wellness and Biophilia
We all want our cities to be functional and livable and we believe that by introducing natural processes into
urban systems we create private and public benefits for residents and citizens alike. A single green roof can
be part of a secret garden, but one hundred thousand green roofs, in aggregate throughout the city, signal a
commitment to urban ecology and biophilia.

Rainwater as a Resource & Nature in the City
Philadelphia has a rainfall average of more than 40” each year. Green roofs absorb rainfall and protect
receiving waterbodies from non-point source pollution carried by stormwater runoff thereby improving water
quality in our great rivers, streams and creeks. Green roofs also provide benefits in situ. They lower temperatures
on building roofs and the air above helping to mitigate the urban heat island effect. Lower rooftop temperatures can lead to reduced energy consumption. Created habitats encourage biodiversity.

Money Saved, Money Earned
At our core, we are altruistic tree huggers. We are in this business because we believe in a vision of the
future that includes green infrastructure. We are green, but we are also hard working and shrewd. We endeavor
to make sound financial choices with long-term benefits and we expect that you do the same. Green
roofs can increase your property value, lower energy costs, increase the service life of your waterproofing,
and reduce your stormwater management fees. On constrained lots, managing stormwater on your building
can increase the properties buildable area.
