New Water-Efficient Green Roof System
Interesting release hot off the BusinessWire.com press…
Columbia Green Techologies Inc has just introduced its new Advanced Vegetative Roof System (AVRS™), which utilizes Zeba® moisture-release technology.
Although green roof construction has been popular in Europe for many years, its only just starting to catch on in the US - apparently the costs of installation and operation of roof irrigation systems (needed to keep vegetation alive during dry spells) have been prohibitive in the eyes of many.
Unlike many moisture-retention technologies (which rely on synthetic materials), the Zeba® system uses cornstarch granules to soak up and release water as needed by the plants.
The AVRS™ comes in the form of lightweight, “double-interlocking” trays which allow for easy assembly!
