Read Designing Extensive and Semi-Extensive Vegetated Roofs for Long-term Performance by Sasha Aguilera and Kees Govers in Construction Canada July 2016 Vol. 58 No. 5.
Awarded the 2017 F. Ross Browne Award for “Article of the Year”, this article co-authored by Sasha Aguilera and Kees Govers encourages consultants and contractors to think about their designs and implementations related to vegetated roofs in such a way that systems can perform as long as the building is in use. The article discusses everything from budgeting and design, to access, irrigation, wind uplift, designing for problem areas, care during construction, post-installation, maintenance, vegetation and overburden warranties. To ensure excellence in performance, it’s important the details in design and installation are considered as critically as the systems themselves.
