Chicago Green Roof Incentive Program

The Chicago Green Roof Incentive Program encourages building owners to install green roofs—vegetated roof systems that reduce heat, improve air quality, and manage stormwater. The program offers financial incentives, typically rebates or grants, to offset installation costs. By supporting green roofs, the city aims to promote sustainability, enhance urban environments, and reduce the urban heat island effect. Participants must meet specific criteria, such as design standards and maintenance requirements, to qualify for the incentives. Overall, the program helps make Chicago more environmentally friendly and resilient through green infrastructure.
