Course overview
You will explore the use of green roofs (also known as living roofs or eco-roofs) while studying this short course.

These innovative installations provide a range of environmental benefits including: improved air quality, enhanced insulation, increased biodiverse conservation, and they reduce the effects of urban heat islands.
