This new course manual builds upon information in our first edition. Achieving net-zero water utilizes the concepts of using and reusing water multiple times on site and to provide to the greatest degree possible a closed loop of water. There are seven steps associated with this integrated water cycle. While this concept may not be achievable in certain projects, incorporation of its principals can lead to reduction of domestic water and sewer dependency. This course manual will focus on a number of case studies from different regions and explore in detail the design, installation, maintenance, policy and economic realities of these net zero water systems.
Introduction to Integrated Water Management applies green roofs and walls to the “Net Zero Water” concept. Through the effective implementation of green roofs and walls, this course manual approaches strategies to significantly reduce the consumption of potable water on buildings in order to deliver sustainable living systems to the urban environment.
The Advanced Green Roof Maintenance course manual examines the planning and implementation of maintenance of green roofs. This course manual includes detailed information on developing maintenance plans, contracts, and inspection reports that work in comply with warranty requirements.
Learn about multiple approaches to growing food on rooftops through design and maintenance principles, and case studies drawn from across North America. The Introduction to Rooftop Urban Agriculture course manual covers multiple approaches to growing food on rooftops through design and maintenance principles, as well as case studies drawn from across North America. It is expected that the course will help promote the creation of many successful urban agriculture installations in cities across the continent.
The Design 101 course manual contains technical information on a wide range of benefits, cost factors, case studies, and major design considerations and practices. Green Roof Design 101 introduces participants to the numerous public and private benefits of green roofs and presents many of the tools and techniques needed to meet your green roof project objectives.
