suny college of environmental science and forestry established a green roof back in 2012 on top of the new gateway center, which was was also established in 2012. green roofs slow the runoff, and absorb up to 80% of rainwater that would have normally flooded the sewage below. they reduce the need for heating in the winter because of their insulation. a green roof also reduces the need for cooling in the summer with transpiration helping to lower the temperature of the roof.<\/p>\n
they also provide a habitat for diverse organisms such as butterflies, slugs, snails, and birds. the green roof utilizes native, flood tolerant plants, that have a high capacity for water absorption and storage. they are economical and have provide great benefits for any building establishment containing a green roof. i believe that every college, university or home should have a green roof to increase habitat for organisms that have lost their habitat from buildings, and reduce runoff. i love the green roof garden, because it’s simple, easy and fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
