Homewood Suites Hotel - Savannah, GA was able to add a top floor amenity deck because of the vegetated roof assembly that addressed their stormwater management needs, per the city of Savannah's building code. To achieve the additional floor in the building, the following conditions needed to be met: the green roof must have capacity to absorb at least 1.2 inches of rain, the green roof must have a certain minimum size to achieve the required retention capacity, and the green roof must be maintained by the building owner. American Hydrotech, Inc. Garden Roof® Assembly was able to make this possible and we were able to work closely with the design team to meet the challenging and specific requirements. Not only did a large portion of the roof turn green but the building was also able to incorporate a rooftop pool. Seamless transitions from soft scape to hard scape was achieved using our Ultimate Assembly®, which included rockcurb around the vegetation and beautiful natural diamond pedestal pavers.

Many healthcare organizations are moving toward a more sustainable business model that includes incorporating Vegetated Roofs as part of new hospital construction to offer therapeutic and healing benefits to patients. Studies have shown that patients with a view or physical access to green space recover at a quicker rate than those without such amenities. American Hydrotech, Inc. has been involved in many such projects, check out a few below: Mercy Hospital - Rockford, IL https://lnkd.in/d9KFRMQw Lucile Packard Children's Hospital - Discovery Garden - Palo Alto, CA https://lnkd.in/gGv_v8rY CHOP Ambulatory Care Center - Philadelphia, PA https://lnkd.in/gvcgT_AN #greenroofs #greeninfrastructure #sustainabledesign #sustainableconstruction #architecture #landscapearchitecture #design #construction #waterproofing #roofing

Rainscreens provide limitless design options for building façades while controlling moisture and reducing energy consumption. Often those design options challenge engineered solutions for the cladding support assembly. Knight Wall Systems has recognized those challenges and developed a broad expertise and product offering focused on the means and methods of attaching rainscreen façade panels to the building while reducing the impact on the insulation (reduced thermal bridging). A growing design trend toward greater depths and load capacity for cladding led to the development of HD ThermaBracket – accommodating up to 16” depths.
