Ever
wonder about all the green roofs going on buildings throughout Syracuse? Or whether a green roof might be possible on
your property? Then consider having your
house, shed, porch or garage be the focus of a design workshop for an
interdisciplinary team of landscape architects, building architects, and
engineers. Interested Onondaga County
homeowners should fill out the preliminary application. In it you will find questions ranging from
why you want a green roof to those concerning the physical features of your
roof and property. Up to six sites will
be selected for a more detailed feasibility analysis including a site visit and
three of the six will be selected to be included in the design workshop. Selected homes will receive a set of
conceptual designs that can be used as a starting point for creating an
interesting, functional green roof.
Please
contact Amy Samuels of Onondaga Environmental Institute with any questions;
443-1757 or asamuels (at) oei2.org. This
project is sponsored by the Onondaga County Save the Rain program and the Green
Roof Working Group.
