This comprehensive report considers the life cycle costs of green roof installation, maintenance, membrane longevity, energy conservation and environmental benefits.
It was prepared by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and partially funded by the City of Toronto.
In January and February 2013 the Environment Committee conducted a survey to get input from members on current and future use of the rooftop and green roof options. This was a follow up to an initial survey done in 2010 when the committee started working on plans.
A total of 87 members responded and almost everyone plans to use the rooftop in the future. Over half of the members who responded expressed interest in gardening on the rooftop.
