New ASTM International Standard Supports Green Roofs
W. CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. —ASTM International’s committee on roofing and waterproofing has created a new standard that will help professionals design and install membranes for “green roofs,” which support sustainability.
This standard (D8014, Guide for Selection of Membranes Used in Vegetative Roofing Systems) offers various options for reviewing the membrane installation before and after the vegetative components are put in place. In particular, the guide helps ensure good water management systems.
