. Earth tones-- : the book : federal science for sustainable development. Canada. Natural Resources Canada; Sustainable development; Développement durable. • protects building membranes from ultraviolet radiation and weather-related damage • serves as habitat for wildlife. With the review complete, Environment Canada scientists and partners from the national Research Council and the roofing industry are embarking on a two- to five-year monitoring project. They will compare differences in water quality, energy usage and other environmental factors between two identical roofs in Ottawa, Ontario: one with vegetation, the other without. In addition, Environment Canada scientists will be using computer models to simulate the performance of rooftop gardens over longer time periods in different cities. Through the report and research (supported by a grant from the Climate Change Action Fund), they hope to raise awareness about the potential rooftop and vertical gardens hold in helping Canadians meet the climate change challenges of the new millennium.
