1 FBC: 10-BC Vegetative Roof Systems Design Guidelines for Performance in Hurricanes, Rain and Drought David O. Prevatt, Ph.D., P.E. University of Florida Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering 5 December 2011, Gainesville FL 1
2 Contact Information Principal Investigator David Prevatt, PhD, PE, Assistant Professor (352) x 1495 Associate Investigator Forrest Masters, PhD, PE, Assistant Professor masters@ce.ufl.edu, (352) x 1495 Participant Glenn Acomb, FASLA, Senior Lecturer, acomb@ufl.edu Dept. of Landscape Architecture, University of Florida 2
3 Commissioned Tasks at the University of Florida (a) Capture and present the most recent research on vegetative roofs in the public domain. Catalogue and compare the availability of vegetative roof systems (in Florida), their (wind) anchorage to the roof structures and installation and design criteria. (b) Conduct wind uplift test on full scale green roof and develop preliminary understanding of the performance in high winds. Identify typical Floridaappropriate green roof systems. Evaluate minimum biomass loss, scouring characteristics, and plant damage for moderate, strong and extreme winds. Determine effect of torrential rain on wind performance. Assess the rate of recovery of vegetation and effect of multiple wind storms. (c) Conduct parametric studies of factors affecting uproot resistance and plant breakage strength of plants used in vegetative roof systems, scour resistance for green roof systems. Develop a standardized test procedure for evaluating green roofs hurricane wind related performance and submit protocol to ASTM and the Green Roof Council to initiate national consensus standards development. 3
4 Current Industry in the U.S. Total green roof area (2011):12,400,000 ft 2 West Midwest Northeast West: 1,880,000 ft 2 (15%) Midwest: 4,260,000 ft 2 (34%) Northeast: 2,680,000 ft 2 (22%) South: 3,610,000 ft 2 (29%) South Florida 244,000 ft 2 of green roof area in Florida (<20 green roofs) 4
5 Florida s Green Roof Issues Plants and growth media Viability of plant selection in hostile conditions (drought & freeze compatibility) Weed suppression and biodiversity (native vs. nonnative plants) Heat flow Moisture residence Root depth issue due to the nature of Florida native plants evolution 5
6 Green Roofs in Florida After approximately 10 years of green roofs in Florida, it has been observed: Growing interest in Florida 4 roofs that are over 2,000 s.f. Primarily institutional, extensive, built-in-place Irrigated and planted native and/or ornamentals--(sedums failed) Complications due to freezes and weed outbreaks Issues code (lack of wind uplift research), lack of urgency for stormwater (no CSO s) and the challenges of a hot-humid climate.

7 Morphology by Season March/April 2007 June 2007 Photograph at installation. Photos by Glenn Acomb Three months later exhibiting significant growth. June and July had the most successful bloom. (+2.5 months) 7
8 Morphology by Season October, 2007 January, 2008 Plants gone to seed and beginning to dieback. (+6 months) Combination of a two hard freezes and perennial dieback (presenting an issue of fuel). Perennials or non-evergreens are a concern if maintenance is not regular. (+9 months) 8
9 Morphology by Season October, 2007 January, 2008 Plants gone to seed and beginning to dieback. (+6 months) Combination of a two hard freezes and perennial dieback (presenting an issue of fuel). Perennials or non-evergreens are a concern if maintenance is not regular. (+9 months) 9
10 Morphology by Season July, 2009 May, 2010 Half of the original natives are thriving; weeds intrude and begin to thrive, leading to subsequent action - replanting. (+26 months) Weeding removed many and the bloom is beginning, but plant variety has been reduced by dominant species (5 out of 10) or due to removal for root depth concerns. (+36 months) 10

13 NRCA-funded Green Roof Wind Uplift Test Evaluate the scour resistance of a fourinch deep fully vegetated growth media subject to 2-minute wind gusts greater than 90 mph. Determine the minimum vegetation coverage needed to resist growth media scour during a 2- minute 90 mph wind gust. Identify effective surface treatments that can minimize growth media scour and wind speeds at failure.
