Rain Master is completing a Central Irrigation Control system for one of the most complicated greenroofs ever constructed. The Rain Master Control system will enable the California Sciences Academy in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, a green museum, to forgo a traditional tar and asphalt roof in favor of a plant-covered canopy that will not only save energy, but will transform carbon dioxide into oxygen. The Morrison Planetarium, Kimball Natural History Museum, and Steinhart Aquarium, along with eight scientific research departments and 20 million scientific specimens, will be housed in the single Academy building, expected to be the largest public LEED Platinum Certified structure in the world when it opens in October of 2008.

Beneath the soil lies a sophisticated, layered drainage system, and below the drainage system are seven concrete domes, as designed by celebrity lead architect Renzo Piano to reflect the city's undulating topography. Piano, a Pitzker Prize winner, was joined by landscape architect John Loomis of the internationally renowned SWA Group of Sausalito. Marty Dickson, of industry leading Dickson and Associates, designed the irrigation. Source: Rain Master
