ASPE Greenroof Ppt
The document discusses the benefits and components of green roofs. Green roofs can reduce urban heat, lower energy costs, improve air and water quality, and provide habitat. They are composed of a waterproof membrane, drainage layer, insulation, filter fabric, growing medium and plants. Extensive green roofs are lighter weight and have shallow growing media while intensive roofs support deeper media and larger plants. Proper planning is needed to coordinate a green roof installation with other construction trades and address scheduling, access, and potential damage from other work.
Selecting Plants for Extensive Green Roofs
This document discusses plant selection considerations for extensive green roofs in the United States. It defines extensive green roofs as having shallow media depths of less than 6 inches and requiring minimal maintenance. When selecting plants, key factors to consider include climate, media composition/depth, drought tolerance, and aesthetic goals. The document provides a table of over 80 plant species that have been scientifically tested or are recommended by growers as suitable options for extensive green roofs across different regions of the US.
ECO Design: Green Roofs
This document discusses green roofs and their benefits. It begins by defining green roofs as roofs covered in vegetation rather than just a waterproof membrane. There are two main types of green roofs - extensive and intensive. Extensive green roofs are lighter and require less maintenance while intensive green roofs can support a wider variety of plants. Green roofs provide multiple benefits such as absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, creating wildlife habitats, and reducing the urban heat island effect. They can also improve air quality, increase energy efficiency, and extend the lifespan of roofs. The document examines these benefits in further detail.
BS Stormwater management assignment
Stormwater is rain or melted snow that falls to the ground and either soaks into the soil, evaporates, or runs off into storm sewers, streams, and lakes. Stormwater management involves controlling this surface runoff through practices like constructing impervious surfaces, storm sewer systems, and detention ponds that prevent infiltration and increase the volume and rate of runoff. The Batu Jinjang Ponds and Related Diversions Project was implemented to improve flooding issues through constructing diversion channels and detention ponds to store stormwater from the Gombak and Keroh rivers and release it slowly.
Stormwater_Slides
Green roofs retain over 53% of annual runoff and detain any excess runoff that is not retained. Different green roof designs can increase stormwater retention and detention rates, with more intensive systems holding more stormwater per square foot. For example, an 8-inch intensive green roof system can retain up to 2.61 gallons of stormwater per square foot from a 4.19 inch rain event over 24 hours.

Analysis of Upgradation of a Convectional Building into Green Building
The phenomenon of global warming or climate change has led to many environmental issues including higher atmospheric temperatures, intensive precipitation, and increased Greenhouse gaseous emission and of course increased indoor discomfort condition. Researchers worldwide collectively agreed that one way of reducing the impact of global warming is by implementing Green Roof Technology which integrates vegetation, growing medium and water proofing membrane on top of the roof surface. This study emphasized to first analysis a convectional Building than upgrade it to a Green Building by the use of some Eco- Friendly materials. In addition to this by the use of some smart electrification work we can also conserve an ample amount of energy in a Convectional Building. Than by the use of different agencies which would provide checklist for Green Building we can rate a Convectional Building which is been upgraded into a Green Building..The objectives of this research were is Reduction in the indoor temperature of the room contributes reduction in energy consumption in the building. By the use of smart electrification an ample amount of energy can also be conserved. By the use of eco- friendly materials and waste products an ample amount of money can also be saved. Although by the up gradation of convectional building the initial cost will be high because of the use of some special material such as solar panel, rain water harvesting system but their application will return 10 times of what we invested

Introduction:
The ecoRoof will combine innovation with practicality. The building is
currently seeking LEED Gold certification, and ecoREAL will work in an
integrated fashion with roofing experts specializing in weatherproofing,
structural engineers and green roof companies specialized in the bio-
regions native plant species to come up with the best design and function
for meeting the building overall green building goals. Water drainage,
low-impact design and aesthetic will be looked at simultaneously. At
each layer of the green roof sustainable design attributes will be assessed
for regional material (especially vegetation) and recycled content (such
as the HDPE geo-cells) in the drainage system along with triple bottom line
life-cycle assessments on how the project affects the context (such as
HVAC systems, and surrounding buildings). Since the building is on a zero-
lot, the green roof grant is critical for pursuing LEED certification relating to
both Sustainable Sites and Water Efficiency credits. The green roof would
augment Felton Properties commitment to retrofitting their existing
building stock to be more sustainable.

The Cool Zone white PVC membrane has high reflectivity and emittance, which provides energy savings and reduces the urban heat island effect. Duro-Last has a tightly-controlled manufacturing process where scrap is recycled and a roof recycling program. A Cool Zone roof can help buildings obtain LEED credits. It is also suitable for use under rooftop gardens and solar panels due to its lightweight and prefabricated construction.
Pomegranate Center Green Roof Manual
Green roofs, also known as living roofs, allow plants to grow on building roofs. They provide environmental benefits like reducing stormwater runoff and the urban heat island effect. While initially costly, green roofs last longer than traditional roofs and provide savings over time. When planning a green roof, homeowners should consider their roof's slope, climate conditions, and structural ability to support additional weight. Green roofs have multiple layers, including a waterproof membrane, drainage layer, lightweight growing media, and drought-tolerant plants. Proper planning and installation are needed to ensure a successful green roof.

- 2. Green Roof Outfitters Green Roof Outfitters (GRO) is a manufacturer and supplier of a proprietary modular green roof system, with it’s headquarters based in Charleston, SC. GRO is able to offer the fully vegetated system or just the needed components in the U.S. and Canada, and currently offers the components internationally.
- 3. History & Facts New Concept? Green roofs have been around since ancient Babylon Germany – first to mandate green roofs and offer incentives to install them Chicago – first US city to implement a significant green roof initiative 5,537,240 square feet installed in North American cities in 2014 Internationally – many cities are now adding mandates and incentives for green roofs.
- 4. Green Roof Basics What is a Green Roof? Configuration of plants, soil, and drainage layers installed on the roof surface of a building. Green Roof Types Extensive – range from 2.5” to 5” in depth and are the most common because they are lighter systems and require the least amount of maintenance. Intensive – range from 6” to 60” in depth. A variety of plants can be used, including shrubs and even small trees, but it requires constant maintenance and the structural loads are significantly heavier.
- 5. Traditional Modular Traditional vs. Modular Traditional System A multi-layered system that must be installed by professionals Modular System An all-in-one system that can easily be installed by anyone
- 6. All-in-one solution with simple installation and maintenance. Flexibility – easily add, remove or rearrange modules at a later date. Quicker installation vs. traditional green roofs = reduced labor costs and a quicker return on investment. Fully Mature on delivery increasing the rate of survival. Simplicity – modules are placed directly on the rooftops and do not require additional work to the roof membrane. Self-Contained System including drainage, growing medium, and plants – No edging required. GROWVista Modular System Benefits

Average annual storm water retained is… Compared to conventional roof surfaces, green roofs lower surface temperature by up to… Green roofs can provide compensatory habitat for rare and endangered species affected by land development (ie: bees, butterflies, etc)
- 15. Frequently Asked Questions Is this for new construction, and if not, do I need to install a new roof system? Our green roof modules can easily be installed on new and existing buildings and roofs. Is my building appropriate for a green roof? Most homes and buildings with low sloping roofs are good candidates. What do I need to know about my building before starting? You will need to know the slope/pitch of the roof (lower sloping roofs are preferred) The structural loading capacity of the roof (consult architect/engineer/builder) Is the existing roof waterproofed and in good condition What are the costs and ROI (return on investment) period? The costs and discounts vary depending on the project size and whether you get the fully vegetated system or just the individual components. Ballpark costs are $10/sf for the fully vegetated system or $2.25/sf for just the empty module & filter fabric. (The above pricing does not include delivery or installation). The ROI is calculated from conservative estimates of savings gained from both energy savings and from the extended life of the roof membrane. The ROI can be greatly influenced by: project size, energy usage, level of insulation in roof, single vs. multi-story building and the costs of the green roof materials/installation. We see typical ROI periods between 3 – 8 years. This does not even include the savings gained by the storm water retention qualities or the added real estate values of the green roof. Other things to consider: Do you plan on utilizing it for a gathering space (access, added safety & live-loads to consider) Is it going to be used for energy savings, aesthetics, storm water retention or a combination of these Do you want the standard mix of green roof plants or do you need custom plantings Do you need the fully vegetated system or just the empty modules & components to assemble Are you planning to install the modules yourself or have them installed by others
