WESTON and GreenGrid® Honored
by Major Industry Publications
• 2005 EBJ Technical Merit Award Winner
• 2005
Buildings Magazine Editor’s Choice – Top Products Pick
Chicago,
IL, February 8, 2006 – GreenGrid® green roof installations by Weston Solutions, Inc. (WESTON),
have been honored by Environmental Business Journal (EBJ) and Building
Magazine, two major publications in the environmental and building-services
industry.
EBJ awarded GreenGrid® its
Technology Merit Award, to be presented at the EBJ Environmental Industry
Summit IV, March 1-3, 2006, in Coronado, CA.
Buildings Magazine has chosen GreenGrid® as
a 2005 Editor’s
Choice – Top Products Pick.
WESTON builds and installs the GreenGrid® green
roof system under an exclusive licensing arrangement with ABC Supply
Co., Inc. Using modular technology, soil media and plants are placed
into a series of modules made of recycled plastics and then placed directly
on the roofing membrane of conventional roofs. The entire system is
simple to install and maintain and offers a cost-effective alternative
to traditional “built-in-place” green
roofs.
Studies show green roofs help lower energy
costs, add natural beauty, reduce stormwater runoff, help alleviate
the “urban heat island” effect,
as well as extend roof life.
“We are elated to see major corporations and retailers choosing
energy saving and sustainable projects such as green roofs,” said
Patrick G. McCann, WESTON’s president and chief executive officer. “We
are honored to be recognized by such respected publications for
our design and installation of GreenGrid® green
roofs, while at the same time meeting the needs of our industrial, commercial
and government clients.”
Because of the many benefits offered by
GreenGrid® and
other green roofs, some states and local communities now offer building
owners and managers green roof incentives. And because of their many
environmental benefits, they can receive Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED®) credits as well.
