A big sponge detention green roof in New York
If a green roof absorbs 50% of the annual rainfall in your city, why not the other 50%? If the civil engineer likes green roofs, why aren’t they using them as a PRIMARY stormwater management tool? Do you know the true difference between Detention and Retention, and why does this matter? What does a traditional green roof need in order to become a PRIMARY stormwater management tool? Can the green roof industry grow without Policy and Regulations? (the answer is yes)
Benefits of green roofs include reduced Heat Island effect, Biodiversity, Greening our cities.
