Last year, a Park Slope couple sent us the skinny on the green roof they’d installed. They’d found the design firm, Prospect Architecture, through our very own forum, who created a green roof, photovoltaic array (solar power) and roof deck, making it feel like “a small meadow.” Here’s the update from the architects: “We (and the clients) were thrilled by how well the plants have grown and filled in the space. The garden has required little to no maintenance. The most exciting part has been that the solar panels have provided for about 60% of the clients’ energy needs!”
Here are energy use numbers before and after solar installation:
- 2007 6/11-7/12 2081 kwh (before solar installation)
- 2008 6/10-7/10 958 kwh (after solar installation)
