the green roof project page
Island West Coast Developments (IWCD)
The IWCD green roof was designed by Victoria Drakeford,
a local landscape architect in Nanaimo, and
the building is aiming at obtaining LEED gold certification. At
the time of construction, the green portion of the roof was
subdivided into five plots. One plot is used as a control
and does not have any soil or plants growing on it (only has
the conventional roof structure).
The other four plots have been planted using a combination
of different plant species (click
here to see a layout of the roof). On the
layout, plot B has soil
depth of 6 inches, while plots A, C and D have soil depths
of 3 inches.
