]]> Comment on Green roof makeover by Jorg Breuning http://blog.jungle8.com/2008/08/26/green-roof-makeover/#comment-2700 Jorg Breuning Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:04:18 +0000 http://blog.jungle8.com/?p=910#comment-2700 I like this project very much because it demonstrates key elements of modern green roof technology developed in Europe nearly 30 years ago. For instants in Germany you find an annual new green roof construction of more than 100 million square foot since the 80’s. This project is a very good promoter for green roofs but it has nothing to do with a “green” philosophy of the company. Even this size of green roofs is virtually nothing comparing to all Ford’s facilities and buildings. I could name many European car manufacturers who have at least 20 times more green roofs by area and also buildings with a much smaller footprint from the beginning. In the US many companies, architects and contractors use (abuse) green roofs to demonstrate a “green” image and to show-off their innovation but it isn’t new at all and they shouldn’t take it to the world – actually they took it from there. However the key is doing things right and not creating more costs for the client in the long run (i.e. maintenance, watering etc.). This requires much more than a green mindset – it requires acknowledging and understanding state-of-the-art from around the globe. While we are reinventing the wheel we can’t reduce cost, increase quality or maximize longevity with function.
