The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has selected American Hydrotech's Garden Roof(R) assembly for its green roof in downtown Washington, DC.
"American Hydrotech's products will serve as the basis for our green roof system. We chose this assembly because of its stormwater management capabilities as well as its ability to improve the building's energy efficiency. And, American Hydrotech lends a great deal of technical expertise to their projects and provides an outstanding warranty," said Nancy Somerville, executive vice president and CEO of ASLA.
"We are very pleased that the American Society of Landscape Architects has chosen the American Hydrotech Garden Roof Assembly for the green roof on their headquarters building," said Steve Skinner, Garden Roof Project Manager for American Hydrotech. "The project scope combines a beautiful aesthetic vision with a variety of highly functional treatments that demonstrate the many possibilities of a well designed green roof. It was a pleasure being part of the team led by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates that found great practical solutions to the many challenges we faced.
The ASLA Green Roof will serve as an inspiration to all who visit and to anyone else considering building a green roof." The ASLA green roof will demonstrate the environmental and esthetic value of green roofs; encourage more widespread use of green roofs locally and nationally; and showcase the value landscape architects bring to this type of project. The project is scheduled for official dedication on April 22, 2006.
