You bringin SMEXY back! Keep it up!!?
I was just about to post how this reminded me of vlogbrothers (which is no bad thing!) and then I saw John posted here so good for you 🙂
Keep up the good work, I found your channel while checking out tesla powerwall and thought you were great so have a subscription!?
Wow, that was a great informational video! I wasn't aware they were that awesome tbh 🙂
What about snow though? Do green roofs also work on steep surfaces?
I'd totally love a green roof if I had a house! Why not?! ^^?
????????
Thanks for spreading positive environmental messages.?
I'm sorry to be trollish but if you ask any structural engineer about this they will tell you how bad of an idea green roofs are. Not only do the buildings have to be built heavy enough to hold up the added weight of the plants and soil, they have to be able to handle when that soil becomes saturated with rain water. That means it takes a lot more resources to build and the added support structure reduces the usability of the building. When the soil is saturated it's ability to insulate drops drastically and it takes a lot more energy to heat/cool the building. And since the soil is relatively shallow it has to be watered to keep the plants hydrated during dry periods when water is scarce. If you want "Green" roofs that actually help the environment campaign for covering them with solar panels, I hear there is a company that had thought putting them on the road was a good idea that should have a lot of extra ones. When politicians back an idea it doesn't mean it's right, it might just be popular. :(?
The best green roof is Bag End in Hobbiton.?
Great video! I just subscribed. Also great job France. First nuclear power and then green roofs and solar panels. France seems like the most environmentally friendly country in the world now. I really hope that other countries will do this too.?
Informative video, and great quality! Nice work.?
You said that evaporation helps cool the city and I suppose it is because evaporation is endothermic.?
This is great! Subscribed! -John?
All video I'm just waiting to see if you will push up your glass lol. Also good video?
