Smart Green Roofs

Of course a blue roof on its own is positive yet it provides only one solution.

Smart green roofs.

This green space could be below at or above grade but in all cases it exists separate from the ground. Green roofs are unique typically urban environments they are remote and do not receive a great deal of maintenance. Green roofs can provide a wide range of public and private benefits and have been successfully installed in countries around the world. The green roof consists of more than 50 pre planted modules containing a mixture of california native grassland species.

They experience extremes of temperature and water availability and are designed to fulfill a number of functions primarily stormwater mitigation and heat load reduction. A modular green roof is built in sections sometimes as small as 10x20 inches in a tray or block so that they re easy to handle and assemble yet in time the plants will root into adjacent trays and make a uniform mat. Green roof development involves the creation of contained green space on top of a human made structure. The smart sustainable management and revolutionary technology green roof project will be constructed atop the central irrigation control shed at the smartlandscape site on the uc davis campus.

Modular green roof what on earth does that mean.
