The best type of green roof for the hotel given the weight limitation of 20 pounds per square foot is an extensive green roof. Extensive green roofs are designed to be lightweight, typically using a shallow growing medium and drought-resistant plants, making them suitable for roofs with weight restrictions. Intensive green roofs, on the other hand, require deeper soil and support heavier plantings, which would exceed the weight limit in this case.
