The University of Miami wanted to demonstrate its commitment to environmental sustainability by installing green roofs onto its new Lakeside Village student housing complex. The 25 roof decks were designed to hold 10 inches of growth media and contain a pronounced roof slope of either 4/12 or 3/12. Miami-Dade County typically rejected green roof projects without a minimum of 24 inches of growth media due to wind uplift within a hurricane zone. Also, standard drainboards and root barriers would not have sufficient slip resistance in the proposed sloped design scenario.
