Green roofs have grown popular in developing nations as an additional green space in a city when most of the land is being considered for new building construction but it has received less attention in Malaysia. Green roofs are also publicly accessible which provides a pleasant experience in recreational places that can relieve stress and soothe mind. Thus, this paper aims to determine the level of awareness of green roof adaptation among residents in high-rise residential buildings, as well as to investigate the relationship between intensive green roofs and mental health among residents in green residential buildings. It began by studying the literature on prior research, then collected data from a survey questionnaire on the target population. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 27 will use to record and analyse the results of this study's attempt to address the subject. According to the findings of the studies, the majority of residents are aware of the characteristics of an intensive green roof that influence their feelings. A minority of residents have mental health issues and they prefer five personal controls to keep their minds healthy based on their feelings. The essential conclusion is that a green roof may help in ensuring the preservation of a healthy mental state.
