Hi,
just stumbled on your site. Someone asked me yesterday "how easy would it be to create a green roof on a typical chicago residential flat roof house?" The question came up during a conversation about retro-fitting existing housing stock to be greener (which is of course the greenest building type of all).
Thanks!
Tom.
