3 green roof benefits for industrial real estate
24 July 2025
Drainroof and Completa transform unused industrial rooftops into green spaces that reduce energy costs by up to 43 %, control runoff, and extend roof lifespan.
Industrial buildings typically have large, flat roofs that absorb heat, increase energy consumption, and worsen stormwater runoff. Drainroof and Completa are designed to convert unused roof surfaces into green areas – boosting long-term sustainable profitability.
PLAN YOUR GREEN ROOF
By adding a natural insulating layer, green roofs reduce heat transfer through the roof. Completa can cut heating and cooling demands by up to 35 %, and Drainroof by up to 43 % – helping reduce costs and improve energy efficiency.
Vegetation shields waterproof membranes from UV, extreme temperatures, and thermal stress. This slows down material degradation, extending the expected lifespan of the roofing system.
Drainroof retains up to 12 l/m² and Completa up to 20 l/m² of rainfall. This reduces peak runoff volumes, supports delayed drainage, and eases pressure on urban stormwater systems.
Green roofs also work well with solar panels, further improving the energy efficiency of industrial buildings.
