Green Roof Perimeter

Removing unnecessary finishes may provide sufficient capacity for a green roof of equal weight.

Green roof perimeter.

Some roofs are finished with substantial architectural build ups such as concrete pavers or stone. The intention of the green roof concept is to take otherwise heat producing areas such as rooftops and plazas and provide a cooler environment. Optigreen retaining edge should be installed approximately 30 from roof edges with roof drains and 18 from other edges. The result is a cooler roof decreasing the buildings energy consumption and reducing the heat island effect.

A green roof that is accessible can be a desirable amenity for building occupants but it must also comply with life safety codes.
