**SCOPE**
Green roofs, widely implemented in Germany, Switzerland, and                other European countries, as well as in Canada, are becoming                increasingly well known in the United States. Green roofs can                help to counteract the effect of impervious surfaces in urban                areas. Impervious surfaces, including sidewalks, roads, rooftops,                parking lots, and runways, are usually constructed of impenetrable                materials such as asphalt, concrete and stone, which repel water                and prevent precipitation from seeping into soil. Because approximately                40 percent of the impervious surface area in our cities is located                on rooftops, vegetated rooftops can have an important beneficial                impact on the urban environment by reducing and controlling stormwater                runoff. Green roofs act as filters for both air and water. They                can also play an important role in reducing energy consumption                for both heating and cooling, and in reducing the effects of                urban heat islands. In addition, green roofs can contribute public              green spaces to cities. 

This guide is not intended as a comprehensive bibliography,                but highlights selected works and resources about green roofs.                Many of these works are available in the Science reference collection                in the Science and Business Reading Room, which is located on                the fifth floor of the Adams Building at the Library of Congress.
