Green Roof Design Considerations

Bauder is a leading international manufacturer of building construction materials. They provide clients with waterproofing membranes and insulation to make buildings watertight and thermally efficient, photovoltaic installations for renewable energy generation, and green roofs to support the environment and create better living and working spaces for people.

For a green roof to be successful, it is very important that all parties involved work together and fully understand what is to be achieved to avoid the risk of failure. So the paper was reported by Bauder and it provided me general considerations a designer should pay attention to when I want to design a green roof building.

It consists of 8 parts which are

  • Planning and Consideration
  • The First Steps
  • Waterproofing & Drainage
  • Structural Loading & Wind Uplift
  • Green Roof Components
  • Green Roof Configurations
  • Perimeters & Safe Access
  • Irrigation & Maintenance
