Ecoregional Green Roofs for Sustainable Development in Texas and Beyond: Lecture by Bruce Dvorak

Wednesday, June 1, 2022 | 6 – 7:30 p.m.

Green roofs can make cities more livable and sustainable for people, plants, and animals. Green roofs reduce urban flooding, conserve energy use in buildings, protect waterproofing from hail damage and extend the life of the roof. This talk explores how native landscapes have become a source of inspiration for a new generation of green roofs that make habitats for pollinators, migratory birds, and more. Case studies from Ecoregional Green Roofs will be presented to shed light on how green roofs with native plants play an integral role in making buildings that meet the Living Building Challenge, LEED Certification, and other measures of sustainability. Sponsored by Schultz & Co Landscapes and presented in partnership with the AIA San Antonio and South Texas Section of Texas ASLA.
