"Greening Rooftops in Alberta: People, Place + Projects" by Kerry Ross

It’s been a year since Greenroofs.com concluded our third Greenroofs & Walls of the World Virtual Summit: Connecting the Planet + Living Architecture, and as promised, we are now releasing the 23 videos from our 30+ international speakers to the general public.

While some myths about the suitability of green roofs in Alberta persist given the challenging and extreme climate; that is, long, cold winters, extreme sun paths, a short growing season and low levels of precipitation, this presentation includes a range of case study projects in four of the province’s six main eco-regions.

These projects employ different proprietary systems with distinct expressions and objectives. The characteristics, design intent, plant species selection and maintenance requirements of these case studies are discussed.
