more vulnerable projects will benefit most meaningfully: full
cost recovery within six+ years on average and the economic
benefits then accruing to those projects and occupants through
energy savings and deferred maintenance for remaining decades
to come. Affordable projects will be all the more challenged in
the future. Green roofs guarantee a more stable and accessible
future for such projects and their residents, thus directly addressing environmental equity imperatives.
Identify stakeholders, both supporters and others, early in
order to best-define an effective regulatory approach and accompanying advocacy strategy.
It is recommended to seek input from other municipalities
who have generated policies and regulations in order to employ
that intelligence to achieve early support from stakeholders.
Denver is a good recent example of a case where such early
input was not achievable, with mixed results as a consequence.
In 2017, Denver passed the Green Roof Ordinance, following
a citizen-led effort in reaction to local government's climate
change inaction. The stringent ordinance mandated green roofs
on both new and existing buildings. Following passage, a technical
committee was convened to adjust the mandated requirements.
That process determined that green roofs were not structurally
feasible for most existing buildings. This opened the initiative to
a fundamental reworking, which was amended to mandate a less
stringent and impactful set of compliance options.
The Denver effort provides two principle lessons. First: in
the absence of policy leadership and best public participation
practices, fundamental stakeholder issues may not be adequately
vetted and incorporated, and ultimate results may be compromised. Second, if efforts are not appropriately led by policymakers; citizens can, and will, act.
MANDATORY APPROACHES ARE IDEAL,
BUT SOME FLEXIBILITY IS ESSENTIAL.
Mandatory policies provide the most immediate path to green
roof deployment. However, flexibility is necessary in terms of
