- Today Ed goes on top of the finished living roof at Aqualand to do a few test. Things get a bit hot with temperatures reaching 185 degrees but only on a fraction of the large roof.

What do you think of our green roof concept, and do you think more buildings should follow in our footsteps?
Love it, should be everywhere where possible. I visited Florida years back and was shocked about the big black parking spaces in front of businesses. No shade, just a black hot mess.
😊😊😊😊thanks Ed enjoyed the video!!! Love talking about green roof I want to do one on the house we built at the ranch but my dad had other ideas.
They’re very effective!!!
THIS is the only discussion about climate change I will participate in. Its not about turning off your AC or driving electric cars. painting roads white, green roofs, regenerative agriculture, these are the ways we should be focusing on changing
You are awesome! I learned alot watching this video, I find it interesting how the old ways somehow seem new! Turf rooves have been around forever, even the Hobbits had them!😅
In the south the Trex decking gets up close to 200 degrees in direct sunlight. I don’t know why people use that stuff for decking bc it’ll start melting the soles of your shoes.
Edit: it gets that hot even if it’s light colored. My aunt put a decked out tiny home in her back yard for an office & I stayed in it when I was there visiting.
That’s crazy!
Thanks 💚
👍
how do you deal with heavy snow on a living roof? or does the weight of that not matter?
Great question!
It’s calculated into the design,
The Roof deck and all support structures are designed to handle the weight of the soil when fully saturated plus the plants and maximum snow load for Chicago area.
@@EdThePondProfessor super cool im sure it effects the heat cost in the building imagine if every city did this. Super cool stuff man
Great idea man! Wish the hole world would be in the same boat !!!❤
Yes!!!
Ed i love the idea like you said super old knowledge. Next step is to design architecture with planting pockets that chase the building up on its way to yhe skyscraper heights. Imagine a tower with forest ledges every 40 to 60 ft up its flat sides. Not only could de-centralized cooling systems be installed on these ledges but break areas for people could be too. I could reconnect the city masses to nature. Im sure new industries would be created around this concept like tower gardeners, elevated urban forestry, and forestry engineering( to secure massive trees in storm events).
tall buildings are a disaster, because the heat rises on the inside and they are full of glass. even 3x glazed modern glass is a big ask to not need huge cooling units. you cant have much in hte way of trees on a building, they need a lot of root space and are a hazard in a storm and a mess in the fall
But did the extra dead load and water absorbtion cause the section of roof colapse?
i think youre right
The engineers missed a simple bracing system that would have prevented the collapse. It’s there now
Yeah but that roof is very heavy and so much so with heavy rain or snow ..so what about a pitched roof with something like English ive..
I do ac work in Phoenix and haven't seen anything over 160 on the roof
Black roofs are hard to find though the rtemps on white roofs 140
120 will burn you in 3 seconds with that being said one of the 2 thermometers are off the asphalt out here gets 170
Don’t you have any solar-panels on the roof? You could run all of your pumps for the whole summer and there is enough space for them left. It’s for the environment 😊
Why not use the 185° roof heat up water that is used throughout the building.
That would be great!!!
How hot was the white areas on the roof?
Great question!
I never checked…..
12 years since that section of the roof collapsed and still haven't finished up the repairs? What's up with that? Great content as always, but the 12 year old who put the video together should keep the cutesy cutaways for his personal gag reel, IMHO. It's adults who appreciate your knowledge & experience, not adolescents. ;-)
I think that’s Ed😮
@@Tony-InLosAngeles Aquascape has a whole team of people who shoot, edit & post these videos. Ed's the brains behind the builds, but the videos are done by others.
Yes……
I don’t edit videos
I love the science when Ed starts explaining! But what is with all the clips in this vid? Some clips occasionally are funny, but there were way too many stupid clips in this video, just my opinion.
Thanks for your feedback!
@@EdThePondProfessor love what you do though Ed!
I hate this isn't popular.... People need to wake up and trurn societies into nature like cities
Please make some short videos that can quickly and easily share this information will definitely be very popular!
Thanks for your feedback!
Great content. The random clips in between your video shots are super annoying and the need to follow the TikTok trends is wholly unnecessary 😢. I miss the earlier style
Thanks for watching and your feedback!
Loved the information provided. But please not so many little video clips, they actually detract from what you are presenting. Thank you for all you do and are doing.
I agree - the gimmicky add in clips detract from the video and I have stopped Greg's channel because all the gimmicky add in videos detracted from showing all the wonderful ponds and displays he shows.
Thanks for your feedback!
Why the silly inserts? 👎
Thanks for your feedback!
Union roofer 10 years done it all epdm gets hot
That’s a rough job!
