6 Benefit Air Quality Photosynthesis Reduce CO2 and emit energy-rich O2 Filter fume, dust and toxin in the air Up to 4% of heavy metal city dust trapped on plants

7 Benefit Building Protection Reduce expansion and contraction of building material due to temperature Shield from UV ray and acidic rain

8 Benefit Branding Advertise for dedication to green initiative Diverse method for company recognition

9 Benefit Others Sound Insulation Block high-frequency noise and diminish low-frequency noise Urban Wildlife Property Value Count as quality landscaping Depends on maintenance

10 LEED Credits (Positively effect 27 credits) Stormwater Management Heat Island Effect Water Efficient Landscaping Optimize Energy Performance Recycled Content Regional Material Innovative Design

11 Challenges Installation Maintenance Engineering Challenges Water for Irrigation Easier access for venomous animal

12 Cost Installation cost: $84 to $150 per sqft $60 to $90 per sqft for material-only cost Comparison: $28 to $47 /sqft for green roofs Maintenance Cost: $7 to $15 per sqft (8-10% of installation) Conclusion: Many can not be economically sustainable
