Information
Profile @ a glance
- Green Roof is an engineered roofing system that includes vegetation
planted in a growing medium above an underlying waterproof membrane
material
- Although each green roof is unique, all green roof systems contains
the same basic elements of a vegetative layer, a growing medium like
soil, fiber cloth, a layer for drainage, water storage and aeration, a
root barrier and a waterproof membrane
- There are basically two main categories of newer, contemporary
vegetative, green roof systems . They are extensive and intensive. An
extensive system typically has from one and a half to six inches of
substrate or planting media and typically is not suitable for foot
traffic or occupancy.
- An intensive roof system is very much the same as older style
gardens found on rooftops, which were accessible to people to enjoy much
like traditional gardens. They generally have a deeper, soil-based
substrate from eight to twenty-four inches in depth allowing for greater
plant diversity.
- The benefits of green roofs and they typically are divided into
three main categories - aesthetics / amenities, environmental &
economic
- The three tools that will likely be the most useful in implementing
green roofs
are: 1) mitigation regulations designed to address
increased urbanization; 2) storm water fees based on impermeable
surfaces; and 3) decentralization of storm water management
- Plant species suitable for green roofs depend largely on the local
climate, type and depth (the ability to store moisture) of the substrate
and maintenance expectations, in particular, whether irrigation is
available. Plant species used for green roofs need to establish a dense,
weed resistant groundcover in a drought prone and very exposed
environment
