With increasing public awareness of climate change and sustainable development, roof designers have madeprogress in three key areas of sustainability ? minimizing the burden on the environment, conservingenergy, and extending roof system life spans. This paper presents an overview of and design considerations for three viable sustainable roofing systems ? garden roofs, reflective roofs and roof-mounted photovoltaics.La prise de conscience grandissante du public sur le changement climatique et le d\ue9veloppement durable aconduit les concepteurs de toitures \ue0 de remarquables progr\ue8s dans trois des principaux volets de la durabilit\ue9 : la minimisation du fardeau de l'environnement, l'\ue9conomie d'\ue9nergie et l'allongement de la dur...
