高市府工務局表示，透過既有建築物的屋頂、露臺及外牆空間進行綠化改造，不僅能有效降低建築溫度，減少能源使用，也能營造更友善舒適的生活環境，讓市民在日常中感受綠意與城市轉型成果。
工務局說明，本次補助對象包含已領有使用執照的透天建築物、公寓大廈及其他建築物，最高可補助屋頂綠化改善經費49%。申請項目涵蓋立體綠化設施施作、既有綠屋頂管理維護及修繕等，凡取得公寓大廈相關認證標章或曾參與優良公寓大廈評選，依評選成果可提高補助比例與金額。
此外，為強化淨零政策導向，申請案件須於綠化範圍內設置淨零相關設施，經費占比須達補助經費10%或20%以上。曾接受綠化補助的建築物，亦可申請增設淨零設施，持續提升節能與減碳成效。
