The A-Z of Essential and Practical Tips to Achieve Success

This series navigates through the complete green roof process; from recognizing opportunities, to planning, material selection, system design, specifications and drawings, construction and maintenance.

April 11, 2024 12-1 PM PT | Part 1 – Green Roofs: Opportunities & Planning

In the first instalment, participants learn how green roof technology can open new opportunities for various stakeholders and that a successful project requires a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach. We examine, the often overlooked, key design considerations necessary in the planning process to ensure each green roof project will receive a good start because “well begun is half done”.

Learning Objectives | At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Recognize the benefits green roofs contribute on building and community levels.
2. Apply a multidisciplinary collaborative approach in designing a green roof.
3. Identify and analyze opportunities that could benefit from green roof technology.
4. Evaluate the key design considerations involved during the planning process of a green roof.

April 18, 2024 12-1 PM PT | Part 2 – Green Roofs: Material Selection & Design Goals

In the second instalment, participants get an overview of the North American green roof market. We explore individual components, learn about their functions and selection criterion, and how to combine them into engineered systems to achieve specific design goals. An emphasis is placed on the strongest driver behind the current green roof growth in North America, stormwater management.

Learning Objectives | At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Distinguish the various types of green roofs, their market share and cost positions.
2. Define typical components and their assembly placement based on functional criteria.
3. Select proper components to create green roof systems to achieve various design intents.
4. Incorporate retention and detention elements to elevate stormwater management capacity.

April 25, 2024 12-1 PM PT | Part 3 – Green Roofs: Clarity in Construction Documents

In the last instalment, participants learn how to communicate their green roof design goals clearly and effectively through construction documentation, including specifications and drawings. We also take a step-by-step look at a construction case study. Finally, we complete our journey by highlighting the green roof aftercare and maintenance necessary to ensure long-term success.

Learning Objectives | At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Create clear and effective construction documentation to communicate the requirements.
2. Recognize and avoid architectural and engineering design pitfalls that are often overlooked.
3. Understand the construction and installation process of a typical green roof.
4. Specify the maintenance program to ensure long-term success of the project.
