If cities fill with green roofs rainwater would not be miss, providing savings in water consumption and resource depletion . They also clean the air, so if the quantity increases it would reduce pollution in the cities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>In conclusion, green roofs return to nature what we take in constructing our buildings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2883\" alt=\"cubiertas-verdes-valencia-2\" src=\"http:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubiertas-verdes-valencia-2-300x227.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubiertas-verdes-valencia-2-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubiertas-verdes-valencia-2-94x70.jpg 94w, https:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubiertas-verdes-valencia-2-640x485.jpg 640w, https:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubiertas-verdes-valencia-2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubierta-vegetal-valencia-3en.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2886\" alt=\"cubierta-vegetal-valencia-3en\" src=\"http:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubierta-vegetal-valencia-3en-300x227.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubierta-vegetal-valencia-3en-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubierta-vegetal-valencia-3en-94x70.jpg 94w, https:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubierta-vegetal-valencia-3en-640x485.jpg 640w, https:\/\/aktua.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/cubierta-vegetal-valencia-3en.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The green roof \u00a0is called the top that protects the building that consists of plant substrate and plants showing multiple [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":"","_joinchat":[]},"categories":[75,84,78,103],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Green roofs, how do they work?
