This group specifically focuses on researching the feasibility of the use of green roof systems in our community. When feasible, we work towards physical implementation and long term monitoring of those systems.
What is a Green Roof? Check out our FAQs about them!
Current Project:
Schleman Hall Green Roof
This Green Roof was funded by a $68,700 grant from State Farm Insurance.
We will work with several organizations to be monitor the energy efficiency, storm water run off, plant growth, bugs, and other wildlife brought to this roof by the vegetation.
One of the most important parts to this project is education. Boiler Green Initiative is glad to give tours to any organization interested. Please contact officers@boilergreen.com with details.
Download the temperature and rain water data from the green roof!
Please contact Heather Gall (hpreisen@purdue.edu) and Chad Jafvert (jafvert@purdue.edu) prior to use of data.
