RE: [GBlist] low tech green roof?

["Maine, Bruce" <bmaine@hdrinc.com>]

Good morning, David.
Attached is a link to a website that claims that Garland can do a low slope
vegetated roof but I don't see it on their website.  My presumption is that,
if available, these are more applicable to single story structures where
they can be easily maintained.  For a pitched roof on a six story building
an Energy Star listed standing seam will give you a green roof although not
a vegetated one.
