Due to the enactment of the city legislation requiring buildings of more than six stories high to install green roofs, more homeowners in Toronto are going green. With this, Toronto is encouraging its residents to be more in touch with nature and live in a safer environment. Green roofs aren't new in Toronto though. Even before the enactment of the legislation, Toronto was acknowledged as the second city in North America to have the most green roof coverage next to Chicago. But because there are important factors to consider, not all homeowners are qualified to have green roofs. The roofing has to be capable of handling the extra weight. This is why an engineer should see the foundation of the home first. Installing green roofs can be expensive as well. But with the help of roofers in Toronto, they can go for skylights or solar panels. Both are economical and nature-friendly.
