Designing green roof irrigation.
Green roof irrigation requirement.
Substrate properties and depth are also important as they influence water infiltration holding capacity and drainage.
The deeper the substrate used the more moisture it can hold to ensure plant survival during dry periods.
Green roofs that receive direct 1 1 rainfall only do not have inlet controls.
Irrigation system to be sized correctly for all projects.
For green roofs that receive runoff from roof directly connected impervious area dcia inlet control systems may convey and control the flow of stormwater from the contributing catchment area to the green roof.
A truly environmentally friendly solution.
Optimizes distribution of rain irrigation water across the roof surface even on steeply pitched roofs.
For extensive green roofs that require occasional watering.
Irrigation is a key component to a successful project.
Planning for irrigation on a green roof should consider the site layout and conditions access exposure type of plants climate and water supply issues pressure quality etc.
While green roofs are designed to be sustainable features in the urban landscape it takes a little ingenuity a bit of imagination and a lot of product and plant knowledge to make the whole project come together.
