But Here’s Some Interesting insight into the rooftop greenhouse idea:
I am structural engineer and do a Lot of roof designs on commercial buildings. In fact I am doing a live roof design right now whereby a thin vegetation layer (6”)will be growing on top a fairly conventional roof. Generally speaking the weight of soil and vegetation on a rooftop can result in several times the weight of that Which the roof was originally designed for. Practically speaking, it means a tremendous amount of strengthening of existing roof structures if you want to put soil and vegetation directly on top of existing commercial roofs.... and that can be very expensive, time consuming, and be an significant interruption to a functioning businesses. Of course anything can be designed at a cost but in my opinion trying to get a building owner to strengthen a large part of their roof is a very tall order . This is precisely why you you don’t see a lot of superfluous things on rooftops. They are heavy , they can leak , they gather more wind loading....... all of these are very real impacts of adding anything to roofs and building departments will surely require full permitting for every application.
Take it for what it’s worth, but this kind of idea is not a slam dunk by any means for most building owners- in fact - it actually seems quite pie in the sky
