Hurricane testing and Florida Green Roofs is an evolving field. We have just finished 120 MPH hurricane simulator testing on the MetroVerde Green Roof Panel at UF. The non-irrigated panel is a mat-based system with 2″ tick soil. The roots grow into the mat, stabilizing the engineered soil. For a short video of the 120 MPH wind test see http://www.kevinsonger.blogspot.com/ and http://kevinsonger.blogspot.com/2010/10/green-roof-hurricane-uplift-testing-120.html

Has Hurricane testing been completed on Miami Science Center Green Roofs? If so, is there data available? Thanks!

The PACE program has many supporters in Collier County Florida. Many in Collier hope it will jumpstart greenhouse gas (GHG) cuts in the private sector. Losing PACE would mean losing momentum on GHG projects that have taken many months to plan. More at https://www.swflgreen.org/pace-collier .

Comment on Integrated Technology in Buildings: New Efficiency in Real Estate by Desiree Noisette

Sounds like an interesting idea for commercial buildings and would help acheive green goals. However, I wonder how the IT system would work for tenants with sensitive information (like law firms) or unique IT demands/compatibility issues (like banks, which may have specialized in-house developed loan software). A one-size fits all approach probably would not work. I am not an engineer or techie, but I suspect systems would need to be re-configured every time a new tenant moves in (at the very least).
