Green Roofs - Living Architecture Monitor - Winter 2009 - (Page S4) 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm ASTM and FLL and New Fire and Wind Standards Workshop (Ticketed Event – Pre-Registration Required) – Room: Hanover AB This half-day workshop will familiarize attendees with the testing protocol established by ASTM and FLL for green roof products. It will also provide an overview of the new Fire and Wind Standards that have been recently developed by GRHC and SPRI. This workshop is valuable to green roof product manufacturers who want to understand how testing protocols are related to their products and designers in areas where there are high winds. Presenters: Dr. Robert Berghage, Director, Center for Green Roof Research , Dr. Manfred Köhler,Fachvereinigung Bauwerksbegrünung, Germany (FBB), University of Applied Sciences, Neubrandenburg; Kelly Luckett, President, Green Roof Blocks, Chair, Technical Committee From Sites to Communities — Developing an Evaluation Matrix for Community Scale Green Roof Benefits (Ticketed Event – Pre-Registration Required) – Room: Learning Center This session will focus on efforts to develop cost-effective methods to conduct an evaluation of the many public and private benefits that stem from widespread green roof research and to determine to what extent research on these benefits in various cities is transferable to other jurisdictions. Benefits examined will include urban heat island effect moderation, energy savings, greenhouse gas emission reduction, green job creation, stormwater management etc. A report on the results of this session will be provided in Session 3.4. Presenters: Dr. Brad Bass, Chair of GRHC Research Committee, Environment Canada; Hitesh Doshi, Professor, Ryerson University; Tom Liptan, Environmental Specialist, City of Portland.(invited) 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm Thursday, June 4, 2009 8:15 am – 9:15 am Green Roofs for Healthy Cities Corporate Members Committee Meeting (Corporate Members only) – Room: Regency V Chair: Rick Buist, President, Bioroof Systems, Inc.
