An extension of the existing roof, a green roof system involves a high-quality waterproofing and root repellant system, drainage system, filter cloth, lightweight growing medium and plants. Green roofs have the ability to provide a wide range of public benefits, including improved air quality and decreased energy usage. Additionally, property owners that implement green roof systems at their buildings are able to realize a return on their investment through a reduction in maintenance expenses and enhanced marketability of their spaces to users.
“Eco Earth Design is excited to share its extensive knowledge of green roof technology with attendees of the Green Expo,” stated Schucker. “The green roof industry is quickly emerging as a focus of property owners that are interested in opportunities to incorporate environmentally responsible practices into their building design and development.”
The Northeast Building and Design Show will provide green building professionals and those interested in remodeling, architecture, and sustainable design with the opportunity to see the newest and most popular energy-efficient and environmentally responsible products and services for green building and design projects. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to experience and learn from interactive seminars featuring leaders in green building, local politicians and community organizations.
