Abstract

As a result of population growth and the increase in civil construction in urban centers, this has led to a decrease in green areas, an increase in temperature, waterproofing of the soil and an increase in the impacts of construction on the environment. In order to reduce environmental impacts, the green roof is one of the alternatives that helps to reduce the impacts caused by new construction in urban centers, so the purpose of this article is to verify the influence of the cost of green roof implantation in a residence in the municipality of Varginha / MG and the benefits that the green roof makes possible for the residence, environment and general society. Through the realization of the green roof design, analysis and research of the materials used for the implantation in the residence, it was possible to arrive at a final cost for its implantation through the consultation of price in the local trades and by the tables of SINAPI. Although the green roof has a higher cost than conventional roofs, its implantation is justified due to the life cycle, because a green roof can last about 2 times more than a conventional roof, beyond its duration, the green roof makes possible a better thermal and acoustic insulation for the residence and in spite of its high cost, the investment comes along the term through the reduction of the expenses with equipment for air conditioning of the environment of the residence.
