SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS: WATER MANAGEMENT
With climate change making such a strong impression in our day-to-day lives, water conservation is becoming increasingly relevant to all.
Greensulate is at the forefront of helping property owners replace lawns and other water-gulping landscaping not only in residential areas, but also at public facilities and on street medians and sidewalk pathways.
These “growing green” strategies include:
Lawn Replacement
Replacing landscapes with native species in consideration of geographic climates.
Greywater Retention
Capturing non-contaminated greywater from appliances for the use of irrigation.
Stormwater Collection
Capturing stormwater and runoff from rooftops for irrigation use.
SUSTAINALBE SOLUTIONS: ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
Combining solar panels and a green roof offers the benefits of both, and a synergy that goes beyond. It’s a combination that equals significantly more energy, up to 16% more than those mounted on a non-living roof, especially during summer’s highest temperatures.
At Greensulate, our solar projects are designed to be integrated with green roofs. We’ll assess your needs before recommending the system that fits you best, maximizing both your solar energy input and the resulting economic and environmental benefits.
In recognition of these benefits, many cities have launched Green Roof and Solar abatement programs to encourage solar energy usage. This commitment makes sense, as awareness grows of the desperate need to reduce fossil fuels and replace them with clean energies such as solar, wind, geothermal and marine.
Public or private, commercial or industrial, nonprofit, school or government agency, it’s a great time to explore alternative energy options.
Benefits include:
- Synergistic cost savings
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Improved property values
- Dual space functionality
