Roof Design Considerations
The North Roof, though not
accessible by users, will also be “greened” to
improve the lifespan of
our roof as well as provide insulation and space for the implementation
of alternative energy sources. An
“extensive” green roof will be
built on this section, which will mostly be covered with a field of
hardy
low alpine planting

Roof Design Elements
Energy
and water saving
systems such as:
-

-
Flat
plate solar collectors
to heat water and reduce natural gas consumption
-

panels to power
sprinkler pump and reduce electricity use
-
Ventilation
for space below
roof by installing skylight
-
Summer
passive cooling
-
Storm-water
reservoir/irrigation
system
