| Title: Green Roofs for Healthy Cities Author: Founded by Steven Peck, originally a creator of a consulting firm designed to provide services for processes, policies and programs that result in sustainable community and businesses development. He established GRHC after researching a report "Greenbacks from Green Roofs: Forging a New Industry in Canada." Date: Est. 1999 Notes: At a Glance: "The association that represents the green roof industry in North America." GRHC has over 1,700 members and takes initiatives to generate a market for widespread green roof infrastructure implementation, including:
Best for: The site is aimed more for industry professionals, but it has good, basic information about green roof systems, their function and benefits,and insight on what to look for in a installer. It also provides a searchable database of GRHC professional members, but it is not a true directory. Standout Features: It's an easy starting place for some basic background information on a construction technique that is growing in popularity and it offers a window in the the burgeoning realm of Corporate-Green. Keep in Mind: The site is chalked full of corporate/industry sponsors which creates an interesting directory - sponsors range from the Penn State Center for Green Roof Research, the US Composting Council and the American Society of Landscape Architects to GE and Firestone.
