A wind farm off the coast of Yorkshire, set to become the world’s largest, has generated electricity for the first time. The turbines are being constructed 75 miles out to sea and will be able to power the equivalent of a million homes once it has been fully built. Those working on Hornsea Project One […]

No longer can the green roof be deleted from a project due to failure to comply with the fire code. After three years in the making from members of Single Ply Roofing Industry in cooperation with Green Roofs for Healthy Cities (GRHC), we now have a green roof design guide for minimizing the risk of […]

The tomato plants in the hydroponic towers are coming along well except for the uncharacteristically strong winds we have this time of the year. It is blowing some of the tomato plants right off the towers. Breaking stems. Had some fairly nice boards left over from the deck and I’ve been thinking about standardizing how […]

This green roof wind test video demonstrate the value of prevegetation. Prevegetated LiveRoof modules are capable of resisting high speed winds. This likely is not true of sparsely vegetated green roofs. This test is not intended to address wind uplift issues, which are entirely separate issues that should always be addressed by a competent engineer. […]
