The NRCA Green Roof Systems Manual 2007

Green roof system technology and building construction continue to undergo changes, and a number of criteria, including climate and geographic location, code requirements, slope and drainage, and the structural system warrant careful consideration before designing a green roof system. To address these issues, NRCA has released its first technical manual dedicated to green roof systems. NRCA members can purchase the manual for $75; the nonmember price is $150.
