Abstract
This paper provides the conceptual vision for the implementation of vegetated roofing systems (VRS) at University of Wisconsin, Madison. The first location for a VRS retrofit was identified at the Sandburg Dormitory Commons roof and completed in the fall of 2008. The presenters discuss the obstacles and opportunities encountered before, during and after the VRS retrofit. Following project completion, the state of Wisconsin determined the need to study VRS. The presenters discussed the aspects of the proposed study protocol, which includes building thermal performance, intensive stormwater quantity and quality analysis, and in-situ comparisons of VRS to non VRS roofing.
