Interested in green roofing but not sure how to determine its long-term costs and benefits, especially compared to traditional roofs?

The GreenSave Calculator lets you compare roofing alternatives over a specific time period to determine which has the lowest life-cycle cost. It is excellent for determining whether higher initial costs are justified by reducing such future costs as operating, maintenance, repair or replacement costs and/or producing additional benefits, such as energy savings. You can also see whether some roofs have lower initial costs but cost more over time.
If the idea of green roofing is growing on you, log in below to register and use the GreenSave Calculator.
