Although green roofs (also called garden roofs) provide many benefits such as reducing heating/cooling requirements and stormwater runoff, adoption has been low in Canada due to a lack of awareness among building professionals and the general public. This project developed objective technical data and analyses to demonstrate the benefits of green roofs.Bien que les toits verts (\ue9galement d\ue9sign\ue9s toitures-terrasses) procurent de nombreux avantages, comme une r\ue9duction des exigences \ue9nerg\ue9tiques en mati\ue8re de chauffage et de climatisation, et de la d\ue9charge des eaux de ruissellement, leur adoption au Canada a \ue9t\ue9 jusqu'ici peu marqu\ue9e, en raison d'un manque de reconnaissance chez les professionnels du b\ue2ti...
