Green Roofs & Water Management: A Symbiotic Relationship

This course provides a comprehensive overview of green roof systems, focusing on the critical roles of drainage devices, root barriers, and water retention layers. Participants will explore the three primary types of green roofs—extensive, intensive, and semi-intensive—and gain insights into the two main installation methods: modular systems, which utilize pre-planted trays or mats, and loose-laid (built-up) systems, where components are assembled on-site.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Understand the technical components of green roof systems, including waterproofing, drainage, and vegetation.
• Learn and understand the three main types of Green Roof systems and their differences, and the two main approaches to Green Roof installations.
• Review and analyze the different ways to perform water management in a Green Roof system, focusing on different drainage devices, water retention layers, and root barriers.
• Understanding the importance of properly integrating drainage layers, retention layers, and root barriers in a Green Roof system.
