the Green roof at FIT

Soil and vegetation layers add insulation to the roof and protect the roofing membrane
from ultraviolet radiation. They also absorb rain, reducing storm water runoff.

The 1’ x 2’ modular trays are six inches deep and contain an
engineered soil and seven varieties of sedum plants.

The sedum plants require little maintenance and are
hardy enough to survive drought, cold, snow, and ice.
