Next Level Stormwater Management – Engineering Green Roofs for Rainwater Management in Vancouver, BC
Green roofs play a key role in the City of Vancouver’s (CoV) new simplified rainwater management (RWM) requirements for new Part 3 buildings that took effect on January 1, 2024. In this webinar, we will learn how to design green roofs to help meet CoV’s retention/detention requirements and when upgrading to a blue-green roof can increase ROI. Learning Objectives:
1. Understand CoV’s new simplified rainwater management (RWM) requirements.
2. Use a green roof to maximize the reduction of CoV’s detention volume requirement.
3. Design detention green roofs using modeling to help meet a site’s release rate target.
4. Engineer green roofs with enhanced RWM abilities to achieve financial savings.
5. Apply an interdisciplinary approach to create a multifunctional green roof.
