 Green rooftops are defined as structures that have a layer of living plants on top of the structure.  This includes waterproofing elements.  They protect the roof from sunlight, thus extending its life.  They also keep the roof cooler, cutting down on energy costs, and they provide a source of oxygen and habitat for wildlife.
