The result is that the roof helps reduce the surrounding air temperature, helping it retain heat in winter, help cool the building in summer, absorb rainfall, save energy and, in the long run, Reddy noted.

Wesley Syndor, the MSD project manager for the parking lot project, said the work included installing permeable pavers and putting down a special absorbent type soil in the landscaping.

Hospital Green Roof
In Appleton, Wisconsin, Elizabeth Hospital received a new energy efficient green roof. It's called a "live roof" and it's the second such roof to be built at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton. Plants are installed to help block the sun and keep the building cool, while also limiting rain runoff. However, officials say the design also provides a nice window view for those in the hospital.
