Abstract. This article analyses both traditional green roof structures and innovative modular green roof systems. Project design and construction of new buildings with smart green technologies is a main trend in the process of mitigation climate change, because in most European countries the construction sector consumes approximately one third of the total energy used. Despite a wide range of proposed initiatives in the construction sector measures mainly focused on energy-saving technologies, alternative energy resources and methods to bring multiple economic profit and great environment benefits.
