Green Roof Installation to be Featured at Greenbuild Conference

LiveRoof LLC, a horticultural science company in the green roof industry, announced that a guided tour of the LiveRoof installation at Toronto City Hall would be featured in an off-site educational session at Greenbuild, the world’s largest conference and exposition devoted to green building. The guided tour will be part of “OF05—Enacting a Green Roof by Law,” on Thursday, Oct. 6.

“The 37,000-sq-ft podium green roof at Toronto City Hall is the largest publicly accessible extensive green roof in all of Canada,” said Dave MacKenzie, horticulturalist and president of LiveRoof LLC. “This LiveRoof project stands out as a prominent element in the revitalization of Nathan Phillips Square.”

“Toronto is the first North American city to require new developments to include green roofs. Greenbuild will offer an educational session devoted to the development, implementation, results and future of Toronto’s pioneering initiative,” said Terry McGlade, environmental business development representative at Flynn Canada Ltd., the company that installed the overall green roof contract for Toronto City Hall.

Designed for sustainability, the LiveRoof Hybrid Green Roof System is delivered to project sites with modules full of plants that are already full-grown, and is a modular green roof that establishes a naturally functioning ecosystem on the rooftop.
