Section 3.4.5 - Green Roof 3.4.5 Green Roof Other Water Quality Facility Description: A green roof uses a small amount of substrate over an impermeable membrane to support a covering of plants. The green roof detains/retains runoff from the otherwise impervious roof surface as well as moderate rooftop temperatures. With the right plants, a green roof will also provide aesthetic or habitat benefits. Green roofs have been used in Europe for decades. (Hamilton Building, Portland OR) KEY CONSIDERATIONS DESIGN CRITERIA: • Relatively new in North America • Potential for high failure rate if poorly designed, poorly constructed, not adequately maintained ADVANTAGES / BENEFITS: • Provides reduction in runoff volume • Energy savings, aesthetics, allows dual use, noise reduction, reduces urban heat island effect DISADVANTAGES / LIMITATIONS: • High cost • Requires additional roof support • Requires more maintenance than regular roofs • Special attention to design and construction needed • Requires close coordination with plant specialists • Potential for leakage due to plant roots penetrating membrane POLLUTANT REMOVAL -- Total Suspended Solids -- Nutrients – Total Phosphorus & Total Nitrogen -- Metals – Cadmium, Copper, Lead & Zinc STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SUITABILITY Water Quality Protctio Channel Protection OnSite Flood Control Downstream Flood Control IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS L H H Land Requirements Relative Capital Costs Maintenance Burden Residential Subdivision Use: No High Density/Ultra-Urban: Yes Drainage Area: No restrictions. Soils: No restrictions L=Low M=Moderate H=High -- Pathogens – Coliform, Streptococci & E. Coli Volume 2, Technical Guidance Page 3 - 207
