Retrofitting Rooftops to Support Multiple Green Infrastructure Systems
The second phase of the University of Toronto's Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design Green Roof Innovation Testing Laboratory (GRITlab) officially opened in 2014. The GRITlab project is an interdisciplinary research facility that brings together engineering, architecture, and biology researchers. Phase II of GRITlab involved the retrofitting of the Daniels' 106-year old roof to allow the construction of two full-scale integrated green and photovoltaic systems. The completed GRITlab will serve as a research, educational, and demonstration facility for green infrastructure. This paper will present the planning, design, and construction of GRITlab Phase II and discuss the challenges of retrofitting rooftops to support green infrastructure.
