Not only are they beautiful\, but they also help manage stormwater collection and discharge from roofs (often a municipal requirement)\, soften outside sounds heard inside a building\, add warmth and help cool a building (great for older structures)\, provide a home and safe foraging for birds and insects\, and extend the service life of the roof membrane that supports it all.  The list of benefits goes on. \nWith all the good things that green roofs can do\, they often get a bad rap.  It’s not their fault.  The issues green roofs are blamed for often lie with the roof that supports it – poorly designed or built without the care and support an RCABC member contractor brings.  But sometimes green roofs fail because things like the growing media (soil) that are critical to its success are switched for ‘cheaper’\, less reliable materials. \nThe RCABC Vegetated Roof Guarantee is changing all that.  This new program translates the tried-and-true Quality Control/Quality Assurance formula of the RoofStar Guarantee Program for the green roofing industry\, combining membership requirements with a rigorous Standard\, sampling and testing\, trained installers and maintenance contractors\, competent project management\, and third-party observations.  Combined with required maintenance paid for in advance by owners\, t is\, by its nature\, a risk-managed approach to green roofing that will benefit owners and instill confidence among designer\, regulators\, and other stakeholders. \n  \nSEMINAR PRESENTATION:\n\n\n\nRCABC’s Guarantee for Vegetated Roofs: A new future for green roofing in British Columbia\n \nJames KlassenRoofing Contractors Association of British Columbia (RCABC)\nSept 2025\n\n\n\n\n\n \n
