When implementing green roofs, several factors should be considered such as the building's structural capacity to support the additional weight of the green roof system, the roof's angle and slope for proper drainage and soil retention, and the local climate and environmental conditions which will impact the plant selection and maintenance requirements. Additionally, the cost of installation, maintenance, and potential savings in energy consumption should be taken into account to ensure the long-term viability of the green roof. Lastly, collaboration with architects, engineers, and landscape designers is essential to ensure that the green roof is designed and implemented effectively to achieve its environmental and aesthetic objectives.
