Green Roofs
Lord, Aeck & Sargent has designed numerous green roofs, ranging from light-weight extensive systems through mid-weight semi-intensive system to full-depth intensive systems. Green roofs provide myriad benefits beyond reduction and treatment of stormwater, including reducing cooling loads, providing habitat, providing a ‘green’ aesthetic, reducing noise transmission, and extending roof life. The LEED Gold certified Gwinnett Environment and Heritage Center’s extensive green roof, over an acre in area, was the nation’s largest sloped green roof installation at the time of completion. Our in-house Green Roof Professional accredited designers have extensive experience with the design of this unique green building technology.
