“Warmer downtown” is a common summer weather report. The replacement of natural vegetation with impermeable surfaces has caused cities to become giant heat sinks with nowhere for water runoff to go but into the overtaxed sewer system. So, many cities are actively promoting the idea of replacing what constitutes large areas of their hard surfaces – rooftops – with vegetation.

Bruce Duncan, Industry Manager with Dow Building Solutions, discusses the many benefits of vegetative roofing. Bruce has been with Dow for 28 years in building materials and construction sales and marketing management roles. He has been the North American Roofing Market Manager since 2001.
