For those interested in learning more about the economic valuation of the environmental benefits of green roofs, Environmental, Science, & Technology released a paper that I co-authored on the topic. “Green Roof Valuation: A Probabilistic Economic Analysis of Environmental Benefits” summarizes the benefits over the lifetime of a green roof taking into account benefits due to energy savings, reduced stormwater fees, and potential savings under market-based valuation of air emissions uptake. This is presented in a probabilistic manner to aid decision-makers when considering a green roof or policies to encourage green roof adoption.
