Abstract

The multidisciplinary quality of green roofs involves landscape architects, architects,
structural engineers, horticulturalists, and increasingly ecologists in design and
implementation. A standard of measurement of green roof sustainability is necessary
with increasing professional and public interest in green roofs and green roof impact on
stormwater and urban ecology. Currently, green roof LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) credits do not address the sustainability of green roofs. The
intent of this research is to take a critical look at green roof sustainability in regards to the
United States Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED green building standard credits.
It is also my intent to be (at least) a small, yet integral part in advancing the LEED
standards and environmental standards as a whole.
