		<description><![CDATA[Green roofs use an engineered substrate, rather than natural soil, to support plant growth.  There are a number of commercial varieties available, but these are often shipped considerable distances from supplier to consumer and can be expensive.  To reduce the cost of our roofs, it would be best if we could produce our own green [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote last week about root barrier options to protect the Eco Brooklyn show house roof from root intrusion and/or bacterial degradation, which could potentially lead to leaks.  Since Eco Brooklyn focuses on green building, I laid out some of the characteristics associated with the most commonly used root barrier materials, including manufacturing byproducts, potentially [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this post, I&#8217;m going to diverge from the format of my past several entries a bit and explore strategies for installing green roofs on pitched surfaces.
The International Green Roof Association (IGRA) states that roofs with up to a 30 degree pitch can be outfitted with a green roof, and that &#8220;traditional&#8221; green roof components [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my last two posts, I examined the types of membrane available to waterproof the roof of the Eco Brooklyn show house.  First, I identified EPDM as a good alternative and researched the cheapest provider in Brooklyn.  Then I looked at conflicting information on the suitability of EPDM for green roof applications and determined that [...]]]></description>

Yesterday, right after finishing my last post about waterproofing membranes for green roofs, I got an interesting e-mail from a friend that I went to graduate school with.  She is professionally involved in the green building industry and I contacted her for information on waterproofing membranes for green roofs when I first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
In my last post, I identified factors that should be considered when installing a green roof (i.e. desired function, type of roof, whether structural modifications must be made to accommodate extra weight, composition of the roof system, proper substrate formula, appropriate mix of vegetative species, and desired time to maturity/planting method).  In this post, I will begin to investigate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One strategy for addressing impacts associated with urban development is to reduce the functional area of developed surface.  The European community, and especially Germany, has opted to do so by re-vegetating roofs.  Green roofs have been associated with a variety of environmental and economic benefits, including the ability to retain precipitation, filter pollutants, reduce maximum rooftop [...]]]></description>
