Green technologies are becoming increasingly important now a days and people gets more conscious and demanding of their living environment.

- are widely used on commercial buildings with large green areas that incorporate all sizes and types of plants. These roofs will have grasses, flowers, shrubs and even trees and also include walkways benches, tables, planter boxes, greenhouses, ponds and fountains etc. The intensive green roof uses planting mediums that have larger depth which allows to accommodate large plants. However, intensive green roofs require more maintenance
