Abstrakt:	The article presents the study carried out by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the Single-Ply Roofing Industry (SPRI) on the use of vegetative roofs as a means to reduce heat gains and heat losses to save energy. According to SPRI technical director Mike Ennis, the cost savings due to vegetative roofs should be studied so that they could be included in the energy codes. The economic and environmental benefits of vegetative roofs are also cited, including storm water retention and a reduction in urban heat island effect.
