Green Roofs

Xero Flor America (XFA), the official and exclusive distributor in the United States for the Xero Flor Green Roof System, announced that the system has been installed on the Empire State Building.

Seattle’s new streetcar line, First Hill, is expected to be completed in early 2014 and will boast a green roof atop its newly constructed maintenance facility.

Four similar buildings at a correction facility presented a perfect opportunity to compare roof performance.

One of the most innovative — and largest — sustainable roofing projects currently under construction is the Music City Center, a massive, 1.2 million-square-foot conference and convention center taking shape in the heart of downtown Nashville. 

 The new Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital, which was dedicated on Nov. 13, 2012, includes three green roofs.
