We saw a design where someone used the heat from a metal <a href="http://www.bobbehrendsroofing.com/residential-roofing/" rel="nofollow"> roof</a> to heat their home naturally. Also we heard that they're developing solar panel tiles, do you know when those will be available.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755071193136417239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164804243040726299.post-4230453206497424092014-10-04T08:26:38.602-04:002014-10-04T08:26:38.602-04:00Article contains so many fruitful information whic...Article contains so many fruitful information which will be liked by the readers as in my opinion this is the best article in this category.<br />Metal roof installation, miamihttp://metalroofmaster.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164804243040726299.post-72135656608212941772014-09-17T09:29:17.425-04:002014-09-17T09:29:17.425-04:00HI Colm, you make an interesting point.

Maybe the design should go further into encouraging methane-consuming microbes, for example.<br />Marc Cadottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335319636148357534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164804243040726299.post-78490954611216121972014-09-17T09:26:36.071-04:002014-09-17T09:26:36.071-04:00While it just seems obvious that a green roof,. by...While it just seems obvious that a green roof,. by virtue of not being sterile is more biodiverse than e.g. a concrete or tiled roof. Period. So there is a reason for promoting them. But don't buy into this "CO2 sequestration" myth - that's, on balance, wrong. By virtue of it having little top soil you cannot grow a rain forest on a roof, rather you plant stuff like sedum etc. and once that has grown to its full (small) size, that is the end of "sequestration". After that it emits as much CO2 or methane as it "consumes" or else it would grow. But it stays stationary. However, if you weighed the carbon content of a "green" roof, based on energy-intensive concrete structures, with e.g. normal roof with wooden beams, I guarantee you, for the whole of its lifetime, the wooden beams will keep more carbon sequestered in themselves than if you dried the plants on a green roof and weighed them against it!Colm Barryhttp://aquaponics.ratheryes.comnoreply@blogger.com
