Green roof vs cool roof — cost, structure and maintenance

DRAFT — outline only. Do not publish until the figures below are verified. Keep this guide inactive until it is written.

Angle: Compare the two roofing approaches honestly.

This guide must answer: - How do green roofs and cool roofs differ in cost and effect? - What structural load does a green roof need? - Maintenance burden of each? - Which suits an NCR home.

Writing rules: answer the question in the first two sentences, put a real number in the opening paragraph, name the specific city or DISCOM where the answer varies, and link to two related guides and the relevant category page.

Verify before publishing: Cost and structural figures.
