"Green Roofs, Facades, and Vegetative Systems analyzes standards, codes, and technical documents from countries around the world including the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Malta, and Australia. An essential resource for building design professionals, this book covers a full range of documents dealing with vegetative systems, such as green roofs, facades, maintenance, fire protection, sustainability aspects in buildings, and tall buildings. This book provides an invaluable tool for not only understanding existing international standards and codes but also how to effectively incorporate them into the project at hand"--Back cover..

This book provides an up-to-date coverage of green (vegetated) roof research, design, and management from an ecosystem perspective. It reviews, explains, and poses questions about monitoring, substrate, living components and the abiotic, biotic and cultural aspects connecting green roofs to the fields of community, landscape and urban ecology. The work contains examples of green roof venues that demonstrate the focus, level of detail, and techniques needed to understand the structure, function, and impact of these novel ecosystems. Representing a seminal compilation of research and technical knowledge about green roof ecology and how functional attributes can be enhanced, it delves to explore the next wave of evolution in green technology and defines potential paths for technological advancement and research.
