A general over view about green roof applications will be presented in a 30 minute presentation which includes an introduction to the historical and global case studies, types, benefits, and barriers of the implementation of green roofs. As well as a quick glance at CAGRT’s first year research results. The second half of the presentation will demonstrate the implementation, define the materials and construction, substrate and plants/planting technology, and some design guidelines used to build the research facility’s green roof. After the presentation there will be a mini tour of the research facility.
