GGE’s tray system (Live Roof), allows us a faster,
seamless, less expensive and superior finished product.
Typical build in place systems are extremely costly,
expensive to maintain and takes years to fully develop.
GGE’s green roof system is fully grown off site, delivered
and installed, so clients can enjoy a custom design
rooftop with instant results.
The process starts with helping our clients understand
the value of found real-estate, advantages of LEED
certification and the branding image that goes along
with green roof tops. Working with our client’s architect
or utilizing our own in house designer, GGE can create
usable, sustainable and visible green living space that
will meet your needs. After a design is chosen, GGE
can provide a quick, clean and seamless installation of
your new green roof. GGE uses the LiveRoof modular
systems made up of hearty, drought resistant plants
that is superior to other systems and ensures a beautiful,
lush green roof the day it is installed.

After the installation is complete, GGE will provide
peace of mind that that you will be able to enjoy your
new investment for years to come by providing a
maintenance program that includes inspections
throughout the year insuring that your green roof is
healthy and working properly. In addition to making
your roof top goals a reality, GGE is also capable of
providing interior and exterior landscaping which can
tie into your green roof, providing a total landscape
package that works together and sets our clients apart.

USGBC LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental LEED CETFICATION POINTS: LIVEROOF@ POINTS USGBC LEED CERTIFICATION Design) Global Green Environments and LEED Certification Points Global Green Environments can help you achieve LEED certification in several categories– above and beyond that of just any green roof system. Green Roofs can actually enhance LEED ratings in categories that might not usually apply to a typical green roof. Below are the major categories of the USGBC rating system and potential points that can be influenced by the LiveRoof® system. Sustainable Sites If you think about it, wherever there is a building, there once was some type of vegetation.! Green roofs help to reclaim green space, and in the process they provide habitat (for songbirds, butterflies and a host of other invertebrates) and help to promote biodiversity. Potential Rating: 1 point. Storm water Management LiveRoof® systems help to prevent excess storm water discharge. They also help to filter and detoxify storm water by removing suspended solids and other pollutants. U.S. Green Building Council: LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Potential Rating: 1 to 2 points. Design) Awards points in the following categories: Urban Heat Island Effect LiveRoof® significantly reduces roof temperatures during the summer months, and the 1) Sustainable Site (14 possible pts) USGBC specifies green roofs as a means of mitigating the urban heat island effect. 2) Water Efficiency (5 possible pts) Potential Rating: 1 point. 3) Energy & Atmosphere (17 possible pts) Materials and Resources 4) Materials & Resources (13 possible pts) The LiveRoof® system acts as a protective umbrella over the roof membranes and 5) Indoor Environmental Quality (15 possible pts) therefore can substantially extend the useful life of the roof and contribute to the LEED 6) Innovation & Design Process (5 possible pts) reuse objective. Potential Rating: 1 to 3 points. Local Sources LEED 4 Award Levels:1) Certified (26-32 pts) LiveRoof® modules are manufactured within a 15-mile radius of distribution. Also, since 2) Silver (33-38 pts) plants are obtained at local nurseries, LiveRoof® may contribute to the 50% extracted 3) Gold (39-51pts) regionally credit. 4) Platinum (52-69pts) Potential Rating: 1 to 2 points. • A LEED Gold Building has 50% less negative impact on the environment Recycled Content than a standard building. LiveRoof® modules are constructed of 100% recycled polypropylene which exceeds the LEED target of 5% or 10% of project components. •!A LEED-Platinum building has at least 70% less negative impact. Dozens of Potential Rating: 1 to 2 points. U.S. cities and several states now require that new and renovated public Water Efficiency/ Water-Efficient Landscaping buildings satisfy LEED criteria. When vegetated with drought resistant LiveRoof® plants, LiveRoof® installations require little or no irrigation.! Additionally, LiveRoof® growing media acts as a sponge to collect excess rainwater. Any runoff can be channelled into a cistern for reuse on the LiveRoof® or other parts of the landscape. Potential Rating: 1 to 2 points. Energy and Atmosphere Green roofs of the same depth as the LiveRoof® system have been documented to reduce energy demand by up to 50% annually in certain types of structures. More typically, green roofs have proven to substantially reduce the need for air conditioning, and therefore require smaller cooling systems, lower capital costs, and lower operating costs. Potential Rating: 1 to 8 points, depending on total energy reduction as a percent versus conventional buildings of the same size. Rapidly Renewable Materials LiveRoof® plants are harvested within a 10-year cycle (actually much shorter), and therefore contribute to this objective. Potential Rating: 1 point. Innovation and Design Process LiveRoof® systems may qualify for innovation and design credits by helping to create a better work environment.! LiveRoof® installations can be used for meetings and relaxation, and perhaps more importantly, they create beautiful vistas, beneficial to people’s health and state of mind.! Additionally, green roofs can reduce exterior sound by up to 40 decibels and therefore create a more peaceful and less stressful interior environment. Potential Rating: 1 or 2 points.
