Green Infrastructure/Green Roofs (Project Eddie)
2022Runoff in urban areas is an increasingly important issue when it comes to water quality. It is a major hydrologic issue in New York City, as urban infrastructure creates excess runoff and impervious surfaces decrease the infiltration rate of land surfaces.

An awareness of the ecological theory relating to the colonization, early successional stages and persistence of ruderal communities and their role within a matrix of other plant communities and plant types on green roofs provides an important basis for increased understanding of the long-term resilience of dynamic green roof vegetation assemblages ...

Roof greening technique analysis
5th International Conference on Responsive Manufacturing - Green Manufacturing (ICRM 2010), 2010A series of environmental problems caused by human depredation, such as air pollution, water pollution, energy depletion and species extinction, have been gradually emerged since 1980. To focus global attention on the risk of environmental protection, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) proposed the slogan of sustainable ...

Although typically eschewed in favor of engineered substrate, natural soils can provide an important ecological benefit for green roof systems in terms of jump-starting a viable habitat. They can act as fungal and microbial inoculants and can serve as an additional source of plants and insects (via seed banks, eggs, and larvae), presumably of species ...

Insects and other invertebrates provide essential ecosystem functions in designed habitats including green roofs. Services offered by invertebrates in these novel environments include pollination for plant reproduction and yield in cultivated crops, pest control to reduce damage to green roof vegetation, decomposition to retain organic matter and cycle

Journal of Architectural Engineering, 2008
By now, we’ve all heard about green roofs. Sustainability issues are a growing concern for society, and roofing is a primary building element that architects, engineers, and owners are seeking to make more environmentally friendly. However, if you were to ask 10 different people to define a green roof, chances are you would hear 10 different ...

Green-roof design decision support: climate specific green roof design recommendations
2015In spite of many design and technical efforts to improve building performance using green roofs as building enclosure components, the critical uncertainty of existing mechanisms, such as pre-defined computational modeling and design guidelines, have frequently resulted in lower building performance efficiency than intended by the design. Examination of
