UCF Student Union The Greenroof constructed on the top of the Student Union building on the University of Central Florida campus is the first successful Greenroof in the State of Florida! Constructed in the spring semester of 2005, the Greenroof has reduced HVAC costs by about 20% for the Student Union Building, increased the rent of the space that looks out over the green roof by as much as $8 per sf, and reduced stormwater runoff on campus.

General Works This project was brought to life with a 2,000 square foot greenroof in late February of 2008. The project is located in Sanford Florida and build on a commercial building. The greenroof was divided into two sections, each 1000 square feet, to show the use of both the tray greenroof system and the loose laid greenroof system. Both systems were planted with 100% native plants specially selected to withstand the high temperatures and sun exposure. Click here for more information. |

Florida’s Showcase Green Envirohome: This project was brought to life with 5 greenroof areas totaling 896 square feet. This residential application of greenroofs was an instrumental component of the near-zero discharge site design. The project location is in Indialantic Florida so salt tolerance was an important factor when selecting plants. The plants used on the greenroof areas were selected to withstand the salt environment as well as the high temperatures and high sun exposure. The greenroof areas are irrigated with a combination of recycled stormwater runoff from the site, greenroof filtrate, gray water, and groundwater from an onsite well. All irrigation waters are stored in onsite cisterns for use for irrigation. Click here for more information.

Stormwater Lab: This project was brought to life in May of 2007 with an 800 square foot greenroof. This application was on a government building and was built to show that lightweight greenroofs can be designed and succeed in Florida. The total saturated weight of this roof is about 20 lbs/ft2 with a thickness of just 3 inches. The plants used were 100% native and the roof is irrigated using recycled greenroof filtrate as well as gray water from a sink within the lab. The project location is in Orland Florida at the University of Central Florida’s main campus. Click here for more information.

Pervious Pavements Pervious pavements can be used to reduce the volume and flow rate from a pavement area. We have specialized in the testing and specification of these pavements in terms of their use for stormwater management. Types that we have used on projects are classified as pervious concrete, flexipave TM, and permeable pavers. We work to specify the total stormwater plan to include pollution control, volume control, mass balances, and flood control. Working with Water Management, a runoff calculator was developed.
