Stormwater Performance
• Retains 30% - 100% over the duration of a storm (up to 3.5”)
• Reduces runoff rate by up to 85% (avg 65%) • Deeper soil, low slope, retention features and
large roofs improve performance.

Heat Island & Energy
• Annual energy savings ~$0.17 per square foot of roof (varies widely by climate and building characteristics)
• Community wide energy and peak load reduction

Biodiversity and Habitat
• Governments developing ways to value natural ecosystems, i.e., Australia’s BushBroker scheme ($0.42 - $1.46/sf)

Quality of Life and Real Estate
• A study showed that access to views of greenery has increased productivity 2.9%
• Potential real estate value of ~$13 per square foot national (rents, expenses, vacancy, discount rates, absorption and lease lengths)
• Green roofs increase premiums of a building (i.e., green buildings) - ~2.5% nationally
