Contributing to West Village’s LEED Gold certification, is this living roof which helps conserve energy usage while reducing rainwater run-off.
In 2015, the Institute attained LEED Silver certification for environmental sustainability; a designation to which this living roof, spread over five separate roof areas and part of the building’s energy conservation measures, played a role.
Situated on the roof of RIM Park’s GreenLab, which incorporates a number of sustainable features, including solar panels, this living roof blends into the surrounding playing fields, creating unity between the living and built environments.
