8 Modern green roof technology is an engineered setup of different high performance layers that mimic nature s soil profile to allow much thinner and lighter profiles. Against any other statements you may find on the English spoken market, modern green roof technology has nothing in common with ancient projects and their setups. The technology was developed in the 70 s in Germany and is engineered to function in each climate zone on the world. The technology can be applied on all impervious areas not only on roofs.

19 It is widely known that multibillion companies are massively investing in solar energy. Especially Internet companies (Google, Yahoo, 1and1, etc.) have huge demands for energy to feed their decentralized server systems (clouds). Experts estimated that in ten years from now this modern telecommunication (internet, clouds, videos, etc.) require worldwide 1963 Billion kwh. This is three times more than the current entire power consumption of France, Germany, Brazil and Canada together (Greenpeace). With this numbers in mind it is understandable that these companies like to reduce their energy costs in the long run with alternative energies. GREEN ROOF SERVICE LLC However alternative energy doesn t mean it is green. Especially ground mounted solar farms (the preferred solution of these companies) consume a tremendous amount of land and produce substantial amounts of run-off. Typically the development starts with clear-cuts of forests, elimination of native environments or transforming farm land. After the development is done sometimes vegetation is brought back. Typically low growing grasses that require regular maintenance with sheep, weed covers, mulch, gas powered mowers and chemicals
