The Hydrotech Hydrology Tool Helps Architects and Engineers Discover How a Garden Roof Will Help Meet a Facility’s Needs by Compiling an Extensive Amount of Relevant Data
Whether it’s auto repair, homebuilding or designing a green roof, having the right tool for the job makes the process go much more smoothly. This was especially true in the case of the Palisades of Towson — a newly certified LEED Silver apartment home community.
Environmentally friendly features were planned and built into each aspect of the 18-story community’s 361 apartments, 8,000 square feet of retail/office space and what is possibly the largest mechanized parking garage of its kind in the U.S. The project aimed for LEED certification from the outset. Part of that plan included a white reflective roof to help achieve the appropriate credits.
