Abstract: Extensive living roof substrate design to promote storm-water management while balancing structural load and maintaining

Abstract: The sensitivity of an industry-defining stormwater quality metric, the flow-weighted event mean concentration (EMC), to nonstandardized calculation protocols was evaluated. Our objective was to explicate quantitative methods ...

Abstract: Using the USEPA’s Storm Water Management Model version 5.1.012 (SWMM), a case study of a street right-of-way bioretention system (ROWB) configured as a storage node is compared against SWMM’s Low Impact Development (LID) ...

Abstract: The substrate is the key component of a green roof system that directly influences the system’s stormwater mitigation performance; however, it is also identified as a potentially significant source of contaminants. It is ...

Abstract: Bioretention devices are often recognized as stormwater control measures (SCMs) that satisfy green infrastructure or low-impact development (LID) objectives. The hydraulic characteristics of filter media underpin effective ...

Abstract: Green roofs are an emerging storm-water management tool that has predominantly been analyzed for runoff volume reduction and peak flow mitigation. Little research has been completed on evapotranspiration (ET) in green roofs.

Abstract: Green roofs are implemented for providing urban ecosystem services like stormwater management, but they have also been identified as a potentially significant source of phosphorus in the runoff, which may cause concern for ...

Abstract: Green roofs are effective stormwater control measures for mitigating urban hydrology; however, their potential to manage nutrient discharges has not been consistently documented. Thirty-two pilot scale newly constructed ...

Abstract: Living roofs are a green infrastructure (GI)/low-impact development (LID) stormwater control measure (SCM) increasingly drawing worldwide attention. Despite substantial performance evidence in the literature, the lack of ...
