Rooftop renewable energy

Investigating the options for a PV array and how coupling it with a green roof delivers twofold.

Designers considering the inclusion of a PV array on new build flat roof construction projects can focus on more than energy efficiencies and outputs.

This presentation outlines the key elements to be mindful of to ensure the rooftop array is installed with methods that protect the building and its waterproofing. How to create a sustainable design that maximises the usable non-shaded roof space, and meets lifespan expectations.

Specifying an integrated solution by combining with a green or blue roof further enhances the benefits, and these are also covered in the presentation.
