Baltimore, with a green roof overhead

April 29, 2008

Baltimore’s a leading city in the creation of green roofs, says an organization set to convene tomorrow in town.

Green Roofs For Healthy Cities says Baltimore came in third for square footage of green roof projects built in 2007. (We had 122,000 sq. ft.). Chicago and Wilmington, Del. surpassed Charm City, while D.C. and Philadelphia came in seventh and eighth.

Green roofs use plants to absorb rainfall and provide insulation while reducing energy consumption.

Anyone know where all the green roofs are in town? Here’s a few, including a BP gas station on Key Highway.
