4 CRCA Vegetative Roofing Panel - From Field to Specs & Back Why Do Garden Roofs Make Sense for Chicago?

5 Why a Vegetative Roof? Reduces cooling loads Reduces peak energy demand Cool roofs being included into energy codes Can reduce ambient temperature in an urban setting (urban heat island - UHI) Improved air quality Further energy savings Andre Desjarlais, ORNL

6 CRCA Vegetative Roofing Panel - From Field to Specs & Back Chicago Energy Code URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT Def. A microclimatic condition wherein large amounts of dark absorbing surfaces (such as asphalt paving and dark roofs) trap energy from sunlight and release it back into the atmosphere, causing higher ambient temperatures and higher pollution levels. Secondary Effect Garden Roofs for UHI = Slowed Water Runoff
