Summary

Green Roof Design 101 Introductory Course (2nd Ed.)

This introductory training course on green roof infrastructure design presents many of the tools and techniques needed to meet your green roof project objectives on schedule, to specification, and within budget. The focus of the training will be on enhancing your skills in:

* Identifying the costs and benefits of green roofs to reach your green roof performance goals;
* Identifying a variety of green roof products and understanding the performance criteria of different green roof elements, and their relevance to your design intent;
* Understanding the major design principles for a successful green roof project and the causes for error which might lead to an unsuccessful green roof project;
* Determining the various professions and competencies required to optimally implement your successful green roof project.

Green Roof Infrastructure: Design & Installation 201

This is GRHC’s second course in the Green Roof Accreditation Program. Registrants should have already taken the Green Roof Design 101 Introductory Course or have a solid understanding of green roof design and available technology.

This course covers a multitude of implementation issues and what cannot be taught in one day will be available as supporting documentation in the participant’s manual. Covering material dealing with green roof actors' roles and responsibilities, construction contracts & administration and material implementation, Green Roof Infrastructure Design and Installation 201 has it all!

This course provides the necessary information that will equip you to project manage the design and installation of a green roof. You will learn:

* Essential qualifications for your project team.
* Critical questions you need to ask your client (matching their ecological requirements to design practicalities).
* Identifying building code/municipal permit issues.
* Liability issues (including insurance, waivers, guarantees etc.).
* Design and implementation issues for new and retrofit buildings (including structural loading concerns, drainage, erosion control, storm water retention, etc.).
* Sub contracting and scheduling concerns.

...and much more.
