GRHC Release: Conference Agenda Released E-mail
“The call for papers this year resulted in almost twice as many submissions as last year”, said Dr. Brad Bass, Chair of the Research Committee, University of Toronto. “We’ve been able to select the very best and leading edge research for this conference.”

This year’s conference will feature more than 60 presenters, including 30 case studies, 20 research papers and over 25 poster sessions as well as local tours. This level of interest is a reflection of the steady 30% growth in the industry.

“We have been promoting green roofs to the architectural community for over a decade and the acceptance and usage of green roofs has caught up to the interest level. Even in this challenging marketplace, green roofs are holding their own; with many owners, architects and landscape architects we work with looking to do their second, third and fourth project. ” said Ed Jarger, General Sales and Marketing Manager, Hydrotech

The Inaugural Green Roof Professional (GRP) accreditation exam will be offered for the first time in Atlanta. The GRP is akin to the LEED (AP) designation, but it is focused on best practices associated with the design, installation and maintenance of green roof infrastructure.

Green Roofs for Healthy Cities – North America, Inc. was founded in 1999 as a small network of public and private organizations and is now a rapidly growing 501(c)(6), not-for-profit industry association for green roof experts in North America. Our mission is to increase the awareness of the economic, social and environmental benefits of green roofs and green walls, and other forms of living architecture through education, advocacy, professionalism and celebrations of excellence. www.greenroofs.org
