Roof Raising:   Rehabilitating Functionally Deficient Buildings
Functionally deficient:  Low clear height buildings often lay vacant for years.  With limited cubic space, these buildings are often demolished in order to build an entirely new structure.  In some cases a additions to the building are constructed if the land is available.  The environmental impact from waste, new materials, and excavated land are enormous.
A positive impact solution:  By raising the existing roof of low clear height buildings, the negative environmental impact is eliminated.  Too often ideally located buildings are overlooked simply due to the insufficient usable cubic space.  Raising the entire roof intact, the monetary and environmental costs of demolition and new construction are significantly diminished.
Results that reduce costs:  Once a building has been rehabilitated businesses are able to benefit in multiple ways.  No additional land is used, but the property often has double or triple the usable cubic space it had when originally built.  Buildings in prime locations will shorten the supply chain and ultimately reduce fuel consumption.  During the process high efficiency systems are often installed to reduce energy costs.
