15 Roof Durability: Up to Triple Service Life
16 Energy Efficiency and Heat Reduction
17 Urban heat island reduction (study found 6% green roof coverage in Toronto would lower temperature by 1-2 C)

19 Green Roofing Benefits
20 Economic Advantages of Green Roofing Greater energy efficiency Minimizes stormwater requirements Protects waterproofing membrane Lower life cycle costs
21 Environmental Advantages of Green Roofing Create bio-diversity Temperature regulation Improve air quality Storm water Management
22 Community and Social Benefits of Green Roofing Aesthetics Recreation Potential Noise Reduction Public Education Urban Agriculture Therapeutic Stress Reduction

24 Waterproofing Systems
25 Built-Up Systems Coal tar pitch Asphalts Common Modified Bitumen
26 Single-ply modified bitumen
27 Torch-applied modified bitumen
28 Fluid-Applied Systems Rubberized asphalts Coldapplied asphalts Urethanes, PMMA
29 Adhered hot-applied rubberized asphalt
30 Cold-Applied Urethanes
31 Single-Ply Membranes Thermoplastic Thermoset
32 Loose-laid, single-ply thermoplastic membrane
33 Membrane Requirements
34 1. Must provide ability to prevent water from entering the building over occupied space
35 2. Membrane must facilitate run-off and withstand hydrostatic pressure
36 3. Even minor defects in membrane can be catastrophic if subjected to ponding water
37 4. Minimum 2% slope strongly recommended
38 5. Membrane must resist fertilizers, roots, and mechanical damage
39 Vegetation Grown Medium Drainage Composite Waterproofing Membrane Separation Layer Insulation Thermal Barrier (as required) Metal Deck Waterproofing Design Options Steel Deck
40 Vegetation Grown Medium Filter Fabric Insulation Drainage Composite Waterproofing Membrane Concrete Deck Intensive Green Roof PMA Design Waterproofing Design Options Concrete Deck
41 How Does it Work?
42 Water Storage...
43 ... Drainage
44 ... Aeration
45 ... Water Supply
46 ... Water Supply
47 Components of Green Roofing
48
49 Green Roof Trays and Modules More expensive than built in place Provide less design flexibility Less healthy for plant communities Provide less protection for waterproofing May be installed by inexperienced labor
50 Components of Green Roofing Hardscape
51 Components of Green Roofing Hardscape Soil confinement / curbs
52 Components of Green Roofing Hardscape Soil confinement / curbs Water retention layers
53 Components of Green Roofing Hardscape Vertical soil separation / curbs Water retention layers Drainage / filter methodology
54 Filter Material Geotextile fabric to prevent soil fines from migrating into drainage components Sometimes combined with water retention qualities for improved planting
55 Accessories of Green Roofing Hardscape Vertical soil separation / curbs Water retention layers Drainage / filter methodology Irrigation
56 Components of Green Roofing Hardscape Vertical soil separation / curbs Water retention layers Drainage / filter methodology Irrigation Root barrier
57 Components of Green Roofing Hardscape Vertical soil separation / curbs Water retention layers Drainage / filter methodology Irrigation Root barrier Protection board and Insulation
58 Components of Green Roofing Hardscape Vertical soil separation / curbs Water retention layers Drainage / filter methodology Irrigation Root barrier Protection board Fall protection
59 Plant Considerations
60 Plant Considerations Climate/hardy plantings/elevation Air intake locations/ allergies Planting establishment size and method Irrigation Exhaust locations plant burn Fire hazard/codes
61 Leak Testing
62 Inspection Procedure Start with substrate inspection Visual membrane inspection Visual flashing inspection Repair visual deficiencies Proceed to leak detection testing
63 Flood Testing
64 Disadvantages of Flood Testing Difficult and costly with sloped decks Not possible after overburden installed Delay in schedule if retests required Weather restraints (rain/freezing temps) Difficult to find exact defect location
65 Conductor Wire
66 Isolation Loops
67 Water conductor applied to surface to allow for ground connection (breach)
68 Small electrical impulses are directed onto the membrane. The electricity is searching for a ground connection (vector).
69 Plaza Deck Waterproofing
70 Advantages of EFVM Testing Exact pinpointing of membrane breaches Membrane defects can be repaired and retested without delay to the construction schedule EVFM can be performed during inclement weather Eliminates unnecessary removal of the overburden to locate a membrane breach Membrane performance can be monitored during its lifespan through the overburden
71 Vegetated Roofing Rule of Thumb Design Considerations
72 1. Determine major design objectives such as structural capacity, environmental considerations and aesthetics
73 Structural Requirements Check structural capacity of existing Dead load increased by 5% or more? IEBC versus IBC Adding mass to top of building can trigger seismic or lateral support system upgrades Original drawings available for review
74 2. Waterproofing adhered to concrete deck preferable
75 3. Perform controlled leak testing before and after covering membrane
76 4. Only use systems with proven track records
77 5. Show all connections, corners, and any detail with multiple components and/or trades
78 6. Consider having full-time monitoring/ inspection
79 7. Accessibility for ease and safety during installation, maintenance and visitors
80 7. Accessibility for ease and safety during installation, maintenance and visitors
81 8. Using a Life Cycle Cost Analysis might help shed some light over the long-term benefits of installing a green roof
82 Design Standards for Green Roofs Forschungsgesellschaft Landschaftsentwicklung Landschartsbau (FFL) Guidelines Green Roofs for Healthy Cities (GRHC) FM Approvals Approval Standards for Vegetative Roof Systems FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet 1-35 ANSI/SPRI RP-14 Whole Building Design Guide, Section Vegetated Roof Coverings Denver, CO: The Urban Drainage and Flood Control District T-04 U.S. EPA
83 ASTM Standards for Green Roofs E 2396: Saturated Water Permeability of Granular Drainage Media E2397: Determination of Dead Loads and Live Loads E 2398: Water Capture and Media Retention of Geocomposite Drain Layers E2399: Maximum Media Density for Dead Load Analysis E2400: Selection, Installation and Maintenance of Plants WK7319: Use of Expanded Shale, Clay or Slate (ESCS) as a Mineral Component in Growing Media WK575: Practice for Assessment
84 Warrantees Beware Of: Exclusions for ponding water Tray manufacturers who warrant the tray only and not the media and vegetation for 20 years Off-the-shelf growth media supplied by roofing manufacturers Note: All warrantees require maintenance programs and a FULL SYSTEM WARRANTY that includes membrane and overburden, including plants
85 Maintenance: Key to Meeting Client Expectations Should Be a Minimum of Three Maintenance Visits Per Year During Two-Year Establishment Period have this ahead of them for the weekend
86 What Tasks Should Be Executed During Maintenance Visits Remove invasive species Inspect roof drainage Spread cuttings and new plants to fill bare areas Add nutrients (as needed) Inspect penetrations/roof edges Soil analysis (yearly) Clean biomass from roof Mow roof if extensive (yearly) Dead-head Written / photo documentation
87 Common Problems Unmaintained for extended period of time leading to undesirable plants taking over and chocking out desired plantings Improperly Maintained Poor drainage Full sun plants planted in shady areas Wind scour Trampling of plants by other trades Poor design Other Trades on Green Roof
88 Case Study SIMMONS SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT
89 Simmons College Green Roof is a 4,000 square feet roof terrace: 2,000 square feet of paved patio space 2,000 square feet of semiintensive green roof (4-8 deep) Plantings include a variety of: Drought tolerant sedum and succulents Flowering perennials and grasses
