GREEN ROOFS: SKY GARDENS

The Knossus Project has joined with S. Edgar David, Landscape Architects to launch an initiative to transform barren rooftops into lush gardens.The benefits of this technology include:

• reducing energy costs by 40% in the summer and 25% in the winter.
• mitigates the heat-sink effect that degrades our cities.
• improves the air quality surrounding the building.
• eliminates toxic runoff from rain
• improves property values by beautification and turning abandoned space into inspirational space.
