A Do It Yourself
Guide for the amateur, small scale building / landscaping
contractor, communities groups and all who want to enliven
roofs with soils and plants. John Little of The Grassroof
Company and Dusty Gedge of Livingroofs.org have joined forces
to provide a practical guide to creating small scale green
roofs. This guide is a response to the numerous emails and
phone calls that we have had over the last few years, with
questions on how the average person can create a green roof,
similar to those in the photographs on our websites.
No other element
in sustainable architecture has seen technical innovations
develop so fast, as in the field of green roofs.
The present publication contains contributions of 33 experts
from 10 countries giving an overview of the present state
of green roofs and pointing out perspectives of using green
roofs in respect of balancing building energy, rainwater
management, environment and climate protection, and green
building concepts.
