Green Roof for a Net-Zero Home in Downers Grove, Chicago
We had the pleasure of working on a unique project in Downers Grove, where we installed a beautiful green roof on a cutting-edge net-zero home. The green roof not only adds a stunning, natural element to the home but also plays a crucial role in its energy efficiency. By insulating the building and absorbing rainwater, it helps reduce energy use and supports the home’s sustainable design, contributing to its goal of achieving net-zero energy consumption.
To ensure the green roof would thrive and deliver long-term benefits, we took several key steps in the installation process. This included selecting the right plant species for the local climate, designing a robust drainage system to prevent water pooling, and using lightweight, yet durable, materials that wouldn’t compromise the home’s structural integrity. With careful planning and attention to detail, the green roof was seamlessly integrated into the home’s eco-friendly design, helping it reach new heights of sustainability.
