Why are individuals and businesses installing them, and how difficult is it to install and maintain a green roof? This guide introduces the range of green roofs available, from the small garden shed to towering skyscrapers; discusses the role of the green roof as part of an overall greening of a building and landscape; advises on types of vegetation to be grown, maintenance required, and problems that can be encountered; analyzes the green roof movement; and describes residential and business case studies from across the world. With contributions from builders, architects, and gardeners, this is not a self-help manual, as most green roofs will need a string of professionals, but a guide to the process of designing and installing a green roof.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crowood Press (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45046856286359,"sku":"9781847972965","price":982.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781847972965.webp?v=1769219137","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/green-roofs-a-guide-to-their-design-and-installation-9781847972965","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
