"Green-Roof Market to Grow Owing to Rising Usage in Commercial, Residential and Industrial
Buildings Applications Till 2022 | Million Insights." M2presswire. N.p., 21 Feb. 2018.
In this source I learned that the markets of green roofs are suspected to rise in
North America. This source also added to my growing benefits list. The article stated that
people are interested in green roofs and the application of this idea. People are learning
more about this concept. This helps my inquiry because I want to prove that this is a hip
The source is a very recent news article. There is no author listed, however, the
In this source, an experiment was conducted in Hong Kong exploring the concept
of green roofs. By placing green roofs in a community, the benefits were explored. This
source outlines benefits of green roofs, specifically between the two types of green roofs.

This helps my inquiry by further defining the differences between the two types and the
development, and research. They encourage scientists to post their findings and papers,
such as this one by Lillian Peng. The journal works with MDPI to perform a rigorous
peer-review. This peer-review is rigorously performed with a strict ethical policy and a

implemented in every part of the world. Not only that, but I can add interesting facts
about how Germany has already implemented them and 10% of their roofs are green.
This source proves that this is not a new concept and the benefits are in effect in other
Melbourne. Since this topic is a form of urban horticulture, the senior lecturer of Urban
Horticulture has credibility to speak on this topic. This source also provides the sources

This resource showed me the steps that go into building a green roof. It brought
up statistics of price and weight, as well as benefits of extended roof life. This will impact

my inquiry project by contributing the engineering level of the green roof concept. This

This article is from Buildings magazine. A magazine company that offers the
latest news and research about building concepts. They are team of professionals in
modernization, and management of buildings. In the article there are quotations from
people who work for companies that build green roofs and other researchers.
Zhou, Long. "Ecological and Economic Impacts of Green Roofs and Permeable Pavements at the
City Level: The Case of Corvallis, Oregon." Taylor and Francis Online. N.p., 18 May
From this article I learned that urbanization makes a large impact on the
environment. The global urbanization rate is larger than 50% and 85% of a developed
nation is in its respective cities. Impermeable surfaces in these cites impact the water
system by increasing the amount of storm-water runoff and creating increased flooding.
This flooding contains more surface pollutants. This is related to my inquiry project by
creating a basis of current understanding. This article shows gives me facts of how things
are now, leading to an opportunity for me to explain how green roofs will make
ecosystems better.
This article is from a peer-reviewed group who states they only post articles from
professionals at the top of their fields, as well as, from scholars, world-class authors, and
leading scientists. The article was published less than a year ago, May 2017, leading to an
assumption of recent data. The author, Long Zhou, is currently an assistant professor at
