GREEN ROOFS & SOLAR PANELS -

  • OCTOBER 11, 2023 - Biosolar Roofs: solar panels mixed with vegetation can boost both power output and biodiversity - Energy Post

    • compared a “biosolar” green roof – one that combines a solar system with a green roof – and a comparable conventional roof with an equivalent solar system. We measured the impacts on biodiversity and solar output, as well as how the plants coped with having panels installed above them. The green roof supported much more biodiversity, as one might expect. By reducing average maximum temperatures by about 8℃, it increased solar generation by as much as 107% during peak periods. And while some plant species outperformed others, the vegetation flourished. These results show we don’t have to choose between a green roof or a solar roof: we can combine the two and reap double the rewards.

NEW YORK -

  • OCTOBER 4, 2023 - First Co-op Qualifies for Enhanced Green Roof Tax Abatement | Habitat Magazine, New York's Co-op and Condo Community

    • An eight-unit Crown Heights HDFC co-op is the first to qualify for an enhanced green roof tax abatement. This special rate is available to those buildings located in a city-designated priority community district. Currently, there are 15 community districts in North Brooklyn, the South Bronx and Central Harlem that are identified as burdened with disproportionate environmental hazards, including an urban heat island effect and air pollution. Qualifying for the enhanced tax abatement requires the green roof to meet the standard abatement requirements and have a soil depth of four inches. The building also needs to be within a priority community district. “With a green roof, air conditioning needs could drop by 60 to 80 percent for the top floor,”

    • The Javits farm is irrigated by stormwater that is captured, measured, treated in underground tanks that pump the water back up to the roof.“Being on municipal water means that you're always adding a small amount of disinfectant to your soil – chlorine,” Ashmore said. “The type of farming that we're doing is really cultivating a bacterial, biologically active soil, and if you're constantly adding little bits of disinfectant over time, you are hindering my ultimate goal as a farmer.

      On approximately seven acres of sedum, about 160 herring gull nests have maxed out their colony, according to NYC Audubon. On the remaining acre of farmland and food forests, colorful migratory birds use the roof as a resting spot as they travel as far north as Toronto and Florida to the south. The varieties include yellow-greenThe birds feast on the grasshoppers, spiders and ants that are attracted to the green roof.

    • They can be as fancy or as low-maintenance as you want. Now, the city is financially incentivizing them through property tax abatements.
