Green Roof & Infrastructure Team: PV Versus Green Roof–Opportunity Rather Than Battle (Virtual)

Join us for the November Green Roof & Infrastructure Team meeting!

Andreas Dreisiebne will join us remotely from Switzerland to give us a brief presentation that describes how both green roof systems and photovoltaic systems can coexist on a roof together. This will be based on his experiences over many years in Switzerland working with both green infrastructure and renewable energy systems on buildings. We'll follow his presentation with what we hope is a lively conversation about how we can integrate more combined PV and green roofs on our projects.
