As all energy on earth comes directly or indirectly from the sun, it is our most vital energy resource. Proper energy use and conservation are essential factors to our well being. However, “going green” is not the end of all things, just as “saving the planet” is not our ultimate goal — it is merely a means to an end. Use solar power today to change attitudes towards one another and towards the environment and you will have created the future.

Green Roofs

Green roofs have been highly utilized throughout Europe for over 40 decades are now taking hold as a "GREEN" initiative for houses, warehouses, factories & condominiums.

The city of Toronto approved a by-law in May 2009, mandating green roofs on residential and industrial buildings and more North American cities will follow suit with this legislation.

"For the purposes of Toronto's Green Roof Bylaw and the Eco-Roof Incentive Program, a green roof is an extension of an above grade roof, built on top of a human-made structure, that allows vegetation to grow in a growing medium and which is designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with the Toronto Green Roof Construction Standard. A green roof assembly includes, as a minimum, a root repellent system, a drainage system, a filtering layer, a growing medium and plants, and shall be installed on a waterproof membrane of an applicable Roof" - http://www.toronto.ca/greenroofs/what.htm

Also known as “living roofs”, green roofs serve several purposes for a building, such as absorbing rainwater, providing insulation, creating a habitat for wildlife, and helping to lower urban air temperatures and combat the heat island effect. There are two types of green roofs: intensive roofs, which are thicker and can support a wider variety of plants but are heavier and require more maintenance, and extensive roofs, which are covered in a light layer of vegetation and are lighter than an intensive green roof.

Green roofs provide numerous benefits and cost savings, including:

• It can extend the life of a roof up to 20 years and reduce both cooling and heating energy costs.
• Reduced cooling (by evaporative cooling) loads on a building by fifty to ninety percent.
• Reduced stormwater run off.
• Natural habitat creation.
• Filter pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air which helps lower disease rates such as asthma.
• Filter pollutants and heavy metals out of rainwater.
• Help to insulate a building for sound; the soil helps to block lower frequencies and the plants block higher frequencies
• If installed correctly many living roofs can contribute to LEED points
